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

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 ...

Growing evidence suggests that a subsurface ocean lurks beneath the icy surface of Uranus' moon Ariel, but new research, ...

These payloads will experience at least two minutes of lunar gravity, marking the first time New Shepard simulates lunar ...

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 ...

A quiet but measurable shift in Earth’s gravity field between 2006 and 2008 has baffled scientists for years. Now, nearly two decades on, new research suggests the anomaly may have been triggered by a ...

The presence of a partially-molten layer between the Moon's rocky mantle and solid metal core is looking more likely following a study on its changing shape and gravity. Researchers from the NASA ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Remote Sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance, typically from a satellite or aircraft ...

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 ...
