Planets usually stay close to their host stars, tracing steady paths shaped by gravity. Yet some planets break free and drift ...

Scientists measured mass and distance of free floating planet drifting through space without star for first time.

Learn how we know the Earth is round, and the science behind the shape of our gravitational field.

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 ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

Discovering a machine that could somehow produce thrust without releasing propellant would be a game-changer for human space travel. There’s just one problem—such a device would defy the laws of ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -An exhaustive examination of lunar gravity using data obtained by two NASA robotic spacecraft is offering new clues about why the two sides of the moon - the one perpetually ...

The Indian Ocean "gravity hole" is a region where Earth's mass is reduced, leading to weak gravitational pull, lower-than-average sea levels and a puzzle scientists have only just begun to solve. When ...

A bundle of magnets and glass had a slight but detectable gravitational pull, pushing scientists closer to the boundary between classical and quantum physics. Reading time 3 minutes Despite keeping us ...

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 ...
