How does fine dust aggregate into building blocks that ultimately form entire planets like our Earth? A research team led by ...

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 ...

The Sun is not nailed to the center of the solar system. It moves, wobbles, and traces a small loop through space, tugged by ...

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

Evidence pointing toward the existence of an undiscovered ninth planet in the solar system may actually indicate our ideas of gravity are incorrect. Such is the conclusion of two scientists who ...

Astronomers suggest that an alternative concept of gravity, known as modified Newtonian dynamics, could explain orbital inconsistencies that have previously pointed to the existence of a ninth planet ...

Our solar system officially houses eight planets, but some scientists say there could be a ninth. And that’s not just Pluto aficionados – evidence suggests a huge undiscovered world lurks on the dark ...

Travel to another moon or planet and your weight will change — but not your mass. This is because your weight on other worlds depends on the gravitational force of attraction between you and that ...

How do you explore the interior of a planet without ever touching down on it? Start by watching the way the planet spins, then measure how your spacecraft orbits it — very, very carefully. This is ...
