As space agencies prepare for human missions to the moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity ...

Since the third Gaia data release in 2022, wide binary stars with separation greater than several thousand astronomical units ...

"Imagine doing a CT scan of the whole Earth..." The post Antarctica’s Gravity Hole Growing Stronger, Scientists Find appeared ...

After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...

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 ...

Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million ...

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

As Earthlings, most of us don’t spend a lot of extra time thinking about the gravity on our home planet. Instead, we go about our days only occasionally dropping things or tripping over furniture but ...

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 ...
