Chandler Wobble.

[Mindful]

Why IS Earth spinning faster than usual? Scientists say climate change, seismic activity and the 'Chandler Wobble' could all be to blame for 1.59 milliseconds being shaved off planet's shortest ever day in June​

• Planet Earth recorded its shortest day since records began on June 29 this year
• Scientists said 1.59 milliseconds was shaved off the Earth's usual 24-hour spin
• It raises the prospect of a negative leap second, to keep clocks aligned
• 'Chandler Wobble' – a change in the spin of Earth on its axis – may be to blame
• Climate change, seismic activity, pull of the moon, and ocean changes affect it

Why IS Earth spinning faster than usual?

Scientists claim climate change, seismic activity and ocean circulation could all be to blame. As could the pull of the moon and the 'Chandler Wobble' - a change in the spin of the Earth on its axis.

Not to worry. The sun is likely to take us out soon.

Chandler wobble?

Sounds like one of those 1950s dance moves.

We're 150,000,000,000 meters from the Sun ... the extra 8 meters this gives us won't change temperatures ...

Don’t tell me you’re that old?

Yes, I am. I danced a LOT in the 50s.

I had the best crowd pleasing moves in my entire preschool.
