    Maybe the Earth just gets bored? The planet's orbit shifts from circular to elliptical every 202,500 years, and has for hundreds of millions of years, scientists report.https://nyti.ms/2IJ5mPf

        https://youtu.be/ztninkgZ0ws  if you’re still interested, this has some good intro info. I can’t pretend to be an expert, but I can hopefully point you towards the experts.

        The word "million" shouldn't be in the headline of the tweet.

        Your tweet copy doesn't line up with the story. "202,500 years" versus "202,500 million years" which is a bit longer.

        There's a little editing mistake there. The age shown in the subtitle under the picture says "202,500 million years" but the age of the universe is only about 14,500 million years. #oopspic.twitter.com/bNFR2JJWqz
