On three days this summer (July 9, July 22, and August 5), the Earth will complete its daily spin a little faster than usual. So fast, in fact, that each day will be about a millisecond and a half ...

Earth is spinning so fast that global timekeepers are considering something that's never been done before: adding a negative leap second. So far this year, July 9 and July 22 have been unusually short ...

The Earth is pretty good at keeping its pace. However, variations do happen. And on three separate days this summer—July 9, July 22, and August 5—the Earth will spin notably faster than usual. Of ...

Earlier this month, the Earth spun just a bit faster than usual on July 9 and is expected to do so again on July 22 and Aug. 5, according to the website TimeAndDate. Over a millisecond was reportedly ...

Scientists announced Monday that Earth is rotating slightly faster than normal, resulting in what is expected to become the second-shortest day ever recorded since precise atomic timekeeping began.

(CNN) — Earth is spinning faster this summer, making the days marginally shorter and attracting the attention of scientists and timekeepers. July 10 was the shortest day of the year so far, lasting ...

A tiny shift in Earth’s spin could trigger a move timekeepers have never made before, and it might impact everything from satellites to global networks. The Earth is picking up speed, and it’s forcing ...
