Mars’ Rotation Is Speeding Up at an Unprecedented Rate, and Scientists Finally Know Why
Mars’ rotation is speeding up slightly, but enough for scientists to notice. A new study suggests the cause could be a massive plume deep underground, quietly affecting how the planet rotates.
The idea comes from research published in…
