As they whirl around in low-Earth orbit, satellite configurations are far more sensitive to changes in Earth's gravity field ...
Researchers looking through data from NASA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR)'s Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) have found an odd gravity anomaly over the Atlantic Ocean. Attempting ...
started rising. As the ground rebounded in this fashion, the gravity field changed. “The Earth behaved much like putting your finger into a sponge ball and watching it slowly bounce back,” said ...
Six months into its mission to precisely measure Earth's shifting water masses and map their effects on Earth's gravity field, the joint NASA-German Aerospace Center Gravity Recovery and Climate ...
A recent study reveals dynamic transformations in Earth's lower mantle, impacting both earthquakes and the magnetic field.
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 ...
Abstract: Though the title is innocuous sounding, its subject offers a unique experience in connecting spaceflight technology with discovery in the Earth system sciences. The satellite is the ...
A quiet but measurable shift in Earth’s gravity field between 2006 and 2008 has baffled scientists for years. Now, nearly two ...
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – In an extraordinary celestial event, Earth has been hosting a “mini-moon” the size of a city bus for the past several weeks. Officially named asteroid 2024 PT5, this object ...
