A discovery about the moon made in the 1960s is helping researchers unlock secrets about Earth’s ocean today. By applying a method of calculating gravity that was first developed for the moon to data ...
The first global gravity model based on GOCE satellite data has been presented at ESA’s Living Planet Symposium. ESA launched GOCE in March 2009 to map Earth’s gravity with unprecedented accuracy and ...
Earth is a lumpy, squishy place - or so the newest, best-ever gravity map of the planet has revealed. A flying pair of American and German satellites, known as GRACE, has measured the uneven gravity ...
A new study has revealed that gravity's effect on Earth is constantly shaping the surface of our planet. When our planet formed, it did so by pulling dust and rock toward its gravitational field. As ...
Buckle up, nerds: NASA is building the first quantum gravity sensor for space—a suitcase-sized instrument that could soon be measuring everything from subterranean water to hidden reserves of ...
