The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

A conspiracy theory that spread on social media claims that gravity will disappear for seven seconds this August, and that NASA is aware that this will happen. A physics professor explains why this is ...

Although Earth is approximately spherical, its gravity field doesn't adhere to the same geometry. In visualizations, it more closely resembles a potato, with bumps and divots. One of the strongest of ...

Gravity seems constant but it turns out, Earth is weirder than that. Gravity actually wobbles a bit across the planet. And ...

Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million years ago. This corresponds to large-scale changes in the continent’s ...

Scientists have finally explained the Indian Ocean Geoid Low, a massive gravity anomaly south of India. New research reveals this 'gravity hole' formed over millions of years due to hot, less dense ...

The Juno spacecraft now orbiting Jupiter has a suite of science instruments which will investigate the existence of a possible solid planetary core, map Jupiter’s intense magnetic field, measure the ...
