At the beginning of this year an extreme decadal variation in
length of day produces mean solar days having a duration of 86400.00389 seconds of
Terrestrial Time (or
ephemeris time), the slowest rotation of Earth's
crust ever to be recorded.[1]
J. J. Thomson finds the first evidence for multiple
isotopes of a stable (non-radioactive) element as part of his exploration into the composition of
canal rays (positive ions).[3][4]
June 6 – The
Novarupta volcano on the
Alaska Peninsula comes into being through a
VEI 6 eruption, the largest this century.
Exploration
January 17 – British polar explorer
Robert Falcon Scott and a team of four reach the
South Pole to find that
Amundsen has beaten them to it. They will die on the return journey, just eleven miles from a polar base (March 16–29).[11]
