Total eclipses occur when the Moon moves exactly between the Earth and Sun. By chance, the Moon (a close, but very tiny object) and the Sun (a distant, but very large object) are approximately the same size in the sky to observers on Earth. Because of this, the Moon is big enough ...
EarthMercuryVenusMarsMagnetic Fields SunEarly Solar SystemPlate TectonicsCorrelations between the rotations of the terrestrial planets in our solar system and the magnetic field of the Sun have been previously noted. These correlations account for the opposite rotation of Venus as a result of the mag...

and changing each others rotations. For example, the Earth’s moon was (most likely) created by a stupendous collision with something Mars-sized that “splashed” the moon into orbit. That impact, as well as tidal effects
We make a detailed analysis of the 13.5-day periodicity of the solar chromosphere, the near-Earth solar wind, interplanetary magnetic field and geomagnetic activity during the last three solar cycles. The 13.5-day periodicity is a real quasi-periodicity whose amplitude varies sizably with time, at...
As you can see, the zonal winds clearly do speed up and slow down the rotation of the earth on an annual basis. So … is there a correlation between sunspots and zonal wind speeds? To examine that, I used aCEEMD analysiswhich breaks out the underlying frequencies of the two signals. He...
We cannot decide on which sights impacted us most in all our travels, but we did notice a shift over the years in our interest from historical and cultural sites to the wildest, most remote places on Earth. Full size image 1995 – 2016: Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center. In ...
The solar wind is the extension of the Sun’s hot and ionized corona, and it exists in a state of continuous expansion into interplanetary space. The
The invention relates to an apparatus for demonstrating the Earth's and Moon's motion around the Sun, which is intended to be used as a teaching material in kindergartens, schools and other education institutions, as an ornament, as a lighting source or for advertizing purposes. According to ...
