>NASA scientists have confirmed that China’s Three Gorges Dam has measurably altered Earth’s rotation. The hydroelectric project, which holds around 40 billion tonnes of water, has slowed the planet’s daily spin by 0.06 microseconds. The development coincides with a rare season when Earth’s rotation will again briefly accelerate, as July and August 2025 are expected to bring some of the shortest days on record.
