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 ...

China has taken a monumental leap in scientific research by activating the world's most advanced hypergravity machine. the Centrifugal Hypergravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility (CHIEF).

Orbital data reveals that rocks transforming deep inside the Earth may be responsible for changes to our planet’s gravitational field.

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

The Indian Ocean "gravity hole" is a region where Earth's mass is reduced, leading to weak gravitational pull, lower-than-average sea levels and a puzzle scientists have only just begun to solve. When ...

Gravity is a key component to human life on Earth - but can this powerful force be defied? One space company has shared how they've created a propellantless propulsion drive that defies the laws of ...

Every time an astronaut returns from space, they experience a force four times their body weight. As they leave the microgravity of space and re-enter Earth’s atmosphere, their bodies witness ...

Wide binary stars with separation greater than about 2000 astronomical units are interesting natural laboratories that allow a direct probe of gravity at low acceleration weaker than about 1 nanometer ...
