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 ...

In 2007, something strange happened over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. According to satellites orbiting Earth, our planet's gravity field developed a continent-scale anomaly before subsiding to its ...

In A Nutshell Antarctica, not the Indian Ocean, hosts Earth’s strongest nonhydrostatic geoid depression when scientists measure against a reference frame that isolates internal mantle dynamics The ...

"The ocean surface is definitely not flat. It is constantly changing as wind, waves and swells produce surface undulations, daily tidal fluctuations raise and lower the average height." ...

“Quantum sensing opens an entirely new domain for U.S. space leadership,” said Dana Anderson, Chief Science Officer at Infleqtion. “By deploying this technology in orbit, we are demonstrating the ...

On March 17, 2002, the German-US satellite duo GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) were launched to map the global gravitational field with unprecedented precision. After all, the mission ...

[ADDENDUM 11/26/12: It has been pointed out to me that two planets that have the same surface gravity won't necessarily have the same escape velocity, which appears to undermine my argument that it ...

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...
