The half-life of some radioactive elements changes depending on whether you measure it in January or in July. This evidence has not fit in well with the standard theory that half-lives are immutable.
This article posits that the variation in the flow of neutrinos from the Sun is causing the disparity. We're hit by a lot more solar neutrinos in January, when the Earth is three million miles closer to the Sun than in July.

The period in the article isn’t “per year,” is it “per 12.5 years,” so something other than the earth’s orbital trip around the sun is involved.
