As they whirl around in low-Earth orbit, satellite configurations are far more sensitive to changes in Earth's gravity field ...

Researchers looking through data from NASA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR)'s Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) have found an odd gravity anomaly over the Atlantic Ocean. Attempting ...

Earth and the Moon are forever locked in a gravitational embrace that has played a critical role in determining the fate of both worlds. Although they have grown more distant since their formative ...

A quiet but measurable shift in Earth’s gravity field between 2006 and 2008 has baffled scientists for years. Now, nearly two decades on, new research suggests the anomaly may have been triggered by a ...

NASA scientists have discovered an electric field encompassing Earth’s atmosphere that is as “fundamental” as gravity — and could even give clues about possible life on other planets. A team of NASA ...

Just as passengers don’t feel the plane’s speed while smoothly cruising, we don’t feel Earth’s movement because we’re ...

Scientists measure the distance to the Moon by bouncing lasers off mirrors placed there by space probes and astronauts.

Earth and other terrestrial planets probably use their gravitational forces to tear apart asteroids ― but this creates more streams of smaller asteroids. When you purchase through links on our site, ...
