Climatic changes of the last 18,000 years ... Monsoon climate of the early Holocene: Climate experiment with the Earth's orbital parameters for 9000 years ago. Science 214, 59-61 (1981).

Ancient North American droughts were driven by Earth’s orbital shifts, study from the University of Helsinki finds.

These orbital variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, describe how Earth’s path around the Sun changes over tens to hundreds of thousands of years. These changes influence the amount of solar ...

Move your cursor over the chart above to view both Terra’s Mean Local Equator Crossing Time in UTC and orbital altitude for each month through 2026.

New research suggests that Earth’s orbital variations—the slow changes in its tilt, axial precession, and shape of its ...

In October 2020, Terra reached a 10:15 AM equator crossing time, and was then lowered about 5km to make room for other upcoming Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) missions, while continuing to drift to an earlier ...
