Venus and Jupiter May Meddle With Earth's Orbit and Climate
Description: Astrologers have maintained for centuries that the position of the planets impact people's personalities and emotions. And while this idea lacks scientific proof, it turns out that planetary alignments do affect some things on Earth. A new study presents the first physical evidence that the gravity of Venus and Jupiter can cause shifts in Earth's orbit-and swings in its climate-every 405,000 years. [Source: Smithsonian]
