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 ...

It's well known that spaceflight causes muscle atrophy and other biological changes in reduced gravity, and especially in ...

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 ...

A team of geophysicists has traced the origins of Earth’s most extreme gravitational anomaly, a vast depression beneath ...

A dip in Earth's gravity field beneath Antarctica is helping scientists track deep-Earth changes over tens of millions of years. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study suggests this mysterious ingredient may not be necessary after all. Using an ...

The “gravity hole” formed at least 70 million years ago after convection in Earth’s mantle. The weak gravity could impact our ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story. 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 ...

Physics is filled with mysteries – and, believe it or not, gravity remains one of them. We rely on gravity to explain things large and small. But at a fundamental level, we still don’t fully ...
