As space agencies prepare for human missions to the moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity ...
Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million ...
Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, the strength of gravity varies over Earth's surface. And it is weakest ...
Since the third Gaia data release in 2022, wide binary stars with separation greater than several thousand astronomical units have been intensely investigated across the world, to probe the nature of ...
After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...
By bringing gravity into the equation, we can focus on effective strategies for managing IBS in space and on Earth.
Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...
The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...
We treat gravity as a firm law, but the ground beneath Antarctica tells a ...
In other instances, cyclists may find themselves pedaling hard to progress down an obvious slope, as if gravity is pushing them in the opposite direction. The rest of this article is behind a paywall.
