A joint Australian-German research team led by Curtin University's Dr Christian Hirt has created the highest-resolution maps of Earth's gravity field to date -- showing gravitational variations up to ...

The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole.

Motion of the Earth's surface mass, including the atmosphere and oceans as well as hydrology and glacier melting, causes the redistribution of Earth's surface loads, deformation of the solid Earth, ...

There are several ways that surface gravity on Earth could change. We wouldn’t like most of them. If a mini black hole collided with Earth and didn’t pass straight through, it would sink to the planet ...

Khosro Ghobadi-Far is advancing the science of climate change with orbiting satellites. Ghobadi-Far has earned an $800,000 grant from NASA to analyze data from the GRACE-FO satellites, which measure ...

We are fascinated by the gravitational differences between other planets, but rarely do we recognize the gravitational variations upon our own. If Earth was a perfectly smooth sphere of equal density ...

A Jim Lattis, director of the UW Space Place at the University of Wisconsin-Madison: There’s actually gravity pretty much everywhere. But why do we feel gravity more here on the surface of the Earth ...

Photos and videos of astronauts on the ISS show them floating around, but saying there's zero gravity isn't fully accurate.

Flat Earth theory, the erroneous idea that the Earth is flat, continues to persist online despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Some proponents of this model believe that the Earth cannot be ...

Drought on Earth probably had an effect on the furthest reaches of the atmosphere. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. An intense ...

Scientists have recently identified an intriguing gravitational anomaly concealed beneath the icy vastness of Antarctica. This fascinating discovery prompts us to explore its origins, the methods used ...
