Earth is spinning faster this summer, making the days marginally shorter and attracting the attention of scientists and timekeepers. July 10 was the shortest day of the year so far, lasting 1.36 ...

Scientists announced Monday that Earth is rotating slightly faster than normal, resulting in what is expected to become the second-shortest day ever recorded since precise atomic timekeeping began.

Earth spun just a bit faster than usual on July 9 and is expected to do so again on July 22 and Aug. 5, according to the website TimeAndDate. Over a millisecond was reportedly shaved off the clock on ...
