NASA recently released a ground-breaking global map of the ocean floor, primarily powered by data from the SWOT satellite ...

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

A discovery about the moon made in the 1960s is helping researchers unlock secrets about Earth’s ocean today. By applying a method of calculating gravity that was first developed for the moon to data ...

Gravity may seem constant, but it actually varies across the planet—and one of the strangest places is Antarctica, where gravity is slightly weaker than expected. Scientists have traced this “gravity ...

A new study has revealed that gravity's effect on Earth is constantly shaping the surface of our planet. When our planet formed, it did so by pulling dust and rock toward its gravitational field. As ...

And in one of the most remote corners of the planet, beneath Antarctica, gravity is at its weakest. In a new study published ...

Buckle up, nerds: NASA is building the first quantum gravity sensor for space—a suitcase-sized instrument that could soon be measuring everything from subterranean water to hidden reserves of ...

The Earth is a dynamic system—it has a fluid, mobile atmosphere and oceans, a continually changing distribution of ice, snow, and groundwater, a fluid core undergoing hydromagnetic motion, a mantle ...

NASA scientists have found evidence that Mars’ crust is not as dense as previously thought, a clue that could help researchers better understand the Red Planet’s interior structure and evolution. A ...

The Earth is a dynamic system constantly undergoing change. As the processes of change affect the Earth's topography—the heights of land, ice, and ocean surfaces—they also modify the distribution of ...
