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

Astronomers have long debated why so many icy objects in the outer solar system look like snowmen. Michigan State University ...

Out in the Kuiper Belt, the massive doughnut of debris beyond Neptune, about one in 10 kilometer-scale objects have surprised scientists with their unexpected shape. Rather than resembling a ball, ...

Another factor in the link between IBS and gravity relates to the gut-brain connection. G-force detection refers to how our peripheral nervous system detects shifts in gravity, and g-force vigilance ...

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 ...

A new study led by the University of Florida has revealed that one of the planet’s most significant "gravity holes" sits directly beneath Antarctica.

For a long time, scientists knew of a “gravity hole” beneath Antarctica—an area with particularly weak gravitational force. Considering the various threats currently faced by the region, scientists ...

F rom space, planet Earth looks like a perfect sphere. But it’s not. Obviously, the crust of the Earth is irregular, covered in jagged mountains and deep oceanic trenches, but even if it were ...

Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...

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 ...

ClearGov and Gravity have merged in a deal that focuses on the technology powering public-sector finance. Lead Edge Capital, a private equity firm, has bought ClearGov and merged it with Gravity, the ...

It was quite a leap. Conspiracy theorists are being brought back down to Earth after NASA scientists debunked a wild claim that the space agency was hiding knowledge about an event that could result ...
