Kresak, long a subject of intrigue, has left astronomers stunned by an unexpected twist: its rotation has slowed and even reversed direction. This strange behavior challenges our understanding of ...

New analysis on 2017 Hubble images of the Jupiter-family comet, 41P/Tuttle–Giacobini–Kresak (41P/TGK), indicates that the ...

41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak is now known to be in the Jupiter family of comets, going from a little inside Jupiter's orbit to almost as far as Earth on its 5.4-year orbit. It is notable for its large ...

First its rotation slowed between March and May 2017, taking 46 hours to complete a spin where it had once taken only 20 hours. This occurred as the comet neared its closest point to the sun, roughly ...

One study finds the Iberian Peninsula rotates clockwise as Africa closes on Eurasia by 0.2 inches per year (5 millimeters), near Gibraltar and the Alboran region. A team in northern Spain combined ...

Plate tectonics can be visualized like large moving parts on the earth’s crust. The constant movement of the plates causes major stresses, and, as a result, deformations or earthquakes occur on the ...

A high-contrast, color-stripped enhancement of 3I/ATLAS captured by Ray’s Astrophotography, revealing a dense luminous core, a surrounding dark halo, and a newly visible clockwise rotational wave ...
