The event, titled "Out of This World," will feature the Massapequa Philharmonic performing composer Gustav Holst's masterwork ...
A new probe in development known as GIRO represents a low-cost step toward unlocking the secrets of the outer planets, all through the invisible pull of gravity.
Recently, researchers found an arrangement of planets around a star that (if we ever saw one in real life) would fall right on that thin line—one so improbable that spotting an example may be an ...
How does gravity work? Gravity applies an effective force of mutual attraction to things with inertial mass, including physical matter and photons. The force of gravity is transmitted through ...
The gravitational pull of the larger planets is indeed considerable. Jupiter’s gravity, for example, is more than 2.5 times that of Earth. But gravity isn’t the only part of the equation.
In the space of one week, it has signed a pair of new deals. One was a new arrangement, and the other was an extension to an existing contract. Planet Labs concentrates on the provision of data ...
Astronomers suggest that an alternative concept of gravity, known as modified Newtonian dynamics, could explain orbital inconsistencies that have previously pointed to the existence of a ninth ...
Self-gravity – the gravitational force that holds sufficiently massive objects together – allows gas planets to maintain their form in the vacuum of space.
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.
One common question people seem to have about the planets' orbits is why the planets are drifting away from the Sun, given the Sun's strong gravitational pull keeping the Solar System together.
