It is now thought that the source of this anomaly was a phase transition in which one mineral’s structure was altered.
As they whirl around in low-Earth orbit, satellite configurations are far more sensitive to changes in Earth's gravity field ...
NASA's GRACE satellite detected a large gravity anomaly over the Atlantic Ocean. Meanwhile, Earth-based observatories saw a ...
Because the Earth is doing the work of increasing the Moon's momentum, the Earth's rotation slows down in turn, as its ...
A quiet but measurable shift in Earth’s gravity field between 2006 and 2008 has baffled scientists for years. Now, nearly two decades on, new research suggests the anomaly may have been triggered by a ...
The aurora borealis is a spectacle of space weather, but solar flares and coronal mass ejections have far more Earthly ...
It's been 286 days since astronauts Sonny Williams and Butch Wilmore have felt the pull of Earth's gravity. Gravity is really, really tough, tough, learning to live with it, but also without it. Our ...
