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

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).

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.

Despite these orbital changes, Terra instruments will continue to collect high quality earth observations. In order to inform data users, scientists, and the general public about these orbital changes ...
