A quantum trick based on interferometric measurements allows a team of researchers at LMU to detect even the smallest ...

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory detected nearly 2,000 new asteroids in about 10 hours, including MM45, rotating in under two ...

Learn 7 fascinating facts about Earth Rotation Day 2026 and understand how our planet’s spin affects time, seasons, and life ...

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have uncovered previously unobserved oscillation ...

Way out there in the asteroid belt is an object that's spinning so fast, scientists are surprised it hasn't flown apart.

At 710 meters (just under half a mile) wide, this space rock sets a record for how fast it spins on its axis: about one ...

The asteroid, 2025 MN45, completes a full rotation once every 1.88 minutes, meaning it must have a very high strength to keep ...

2025 MN45 isn't the overall spin-rate record holder. Astronomers have found a number of small asteroids — those just a few ...

Scientists at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have identified the fastest-ever spinning asteroid larger than half a kilometer ...

Usually, asteroids of that size spin at a speed of 2.2 hours to avoid fragmentation, which means that 2025 MN45 is ...

Astronomers say the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has detected an asteroid that spins faster than other space rocks of its size.

Back in a 2006 issue of GOLF Magazine, Peter Kostis broke down a key "X-factor" that pros use to add serious speed to their ...
