🌍 Earth in Motion — Seen From Deep Space This stunning video shows Earth rotating, captured by NASA’s Galileo spacecraft during its flyby in December 1990. What looks like a short clip is actually a time-lapse made from hundreds of images taken over about 25 hours, compressed into seconds so we can clearly see our planet spinning on its axis. Galileo was on its long journey to Jupiter, using Earth for a gravity assist. Before speeding away, it turned its camera back home and gave us this rare,

Earth Is Spinning Faster Than Ever — And Time Is Literally Slipping Away Earth’s rotation is accelerating, and the planet is now experiencing some of the shortest days ever recorded. Scientists have confirmed that July 9, 2025, is expected to mark a historic milestone in timekeeping, as Earth completes its rotation slightly faster than the standard 24 hours. This phenomenon is so extreme that experts are discussing the unprecedented idea of a negative leap second—essentially removing a second fr
