As they whirl around in low-Earth orbit, satellite configurations are far more sensitive to changes in Earth's gravity field ...

The air on Venus is about 96.5% carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas. All that CO2 leads to a runaway greenhouse effect ...

A team of geophysicists say that an enormous mass shifted deep beneath the Earth's surface 18 years ago, as spotted by NASA ...

NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission has uncovered the origin of massive invisible regions that make the moon’s gravity uneven, a phenomenon that affects the operations of ...

It is now thought that the source of this anomaly was a phase transition in which one mineral’s structure was altered.

If a hypothetical Mars crew operated this machine for 14 months those astronauts would create enough oxygen to let them break free of the Martian surface gravity. When you purchase through links on ...

GRASS will launch about the Hera mission in October 2024, if all goes according to plan. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The ...

What type of lander could touch down on Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io? This is what a recent paper presented at the AIAA 2025 Regional Student Conference hopes to address as a team of student engineers ...

Your weight changes on other planets and moons due to different gravitational pulls. Weight is how much gravity pulls on you; mass (amount of matter) stays the same. Newton's Law of Gravitation ...

Every now and again I’ll get a weird thought in my head that sits there demanding an answer. Sometimes it’s trivial, and sometimes it sounds silly but then leads to some fun insights. This time my ...
