Sentences with phrase «spin axis moved»

«When I learned about how the Earth's spin axis moved over geological timescales, I wondered whether it should be the same for exoplanets,» Jérémy Leconte, researcher at the University of Bordeaux, told Gizmodo

Not exact matches

The front and back wheels only can move forward or backward; they could not move or spin around on their axis.

«This implies that the pulsar's spin axis direction is close to our line - of - sight direction and that the pulsar is moving nearly perpendicularly to its spin axis.»

«In particular, it may be tricky to detect a PWN from a pulsar moving close to the line - of - sight and having a small angle between the spin axis and our line - of - sight,» said Klingler.

The idea goes like this: Two massive bodies orbiting near each other will warp space enough to disturb the central axis around which both are moving, causing them to begin wobbling just like spinning tops.

Spinning around a wheel - like axis, three of its elfin feet move slowly through the sand, while the others rotate quickly through the air to position themselves for the next step (see the video).

He and former graduate student Taylor Perron suggested that Tharsis, which was then thought to have originated at far northern latitudes, was so massive that it caused the spin axis of Mars to move several thousand miles south, throwing off the shorelines.

In other words, even as the Earth spins on its axis in a west to east direction, completing a full rotation every 24 hours, that axis itself is also moving.

Periodically other things inject themselves into the game that are wholly new, like rings that periodically spin (along the x, y, and z axes) and force you to be patient waiting for an opportunity to bounce your ball into the playfield, or blocks that move from one part of the playfield to another (protected from your ball in some, unprotected in others).

This snowpack accumulation near the poles, which gets its water via the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, that in turn rob it from equatorial latitudes of our oceans, also results in a reduction in the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and causes the spin rate to increase as evidenced in the recent history of the rate at which Leap Seconds are added to our calendar (see Wysmuller's Toucan Equation for more on this evidence that during this warm time with much greater polar humidity, earlier seasonal, later seasonal and heavier snows are beginning to move water vapor from the oceans to the poles to re-build the polar ice caps and lead us into a global cooling, while man - made CO2 continues to increase http://www.colderside.com/faq.htm).
