More than a 150 years ago, before Neptune was ever sighted in the night sky, French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier predicted the planet’s existence based on small deviations in the motion of Uranus.

As Earthlings, most of us don’t spend a lot of extra time thinking about the gravity on our home planet. Instead, we go about our days only occasionally dropping things or tripping over furniture but ...

Evidence pointing toward the existence of an undiscovered ninth planet in the solar system may actually indicate our ideas of gravity are incorrect. Such is the conclusion of two scientists who ...

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 planet ...

Recently, an exoplanet just a short 15 light-years from Earth was discovered, setting the scientific community abuzz. This newly found celestial body boasts a unique gravitational pull, a feature that ...

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 ...

Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force in our solar system has been well known. It's responsible for the orbits of the planets and their satellites, but there ...

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. Engineers have designed a compact, ...

An international team of researchers has just revealed the existence of three Earth-sized planets in the binary stellar system TOI-2267 located about 190 light-years away. This discovery, published in ...

Shedding light on the gravity of the situation. Most people do not realize that many of the stars and heavenly bodies they see in the sky no longer exist. In fact, many have ceased to exist for ...
