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 combined gravity of every planet in orbit around it. Yet the whole ...

Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, the strength of gravity varies over Earth's surface. And it is weakest ...

It was quite a leap. Conspiracy theorists are being brought back down to Earth after NASA scientists debunked a wild claim that the space agency was hiding knowledge about an event that could result ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story. A conspiracy theory that spread on social media claims that gravity will disappear for seven seconds this August, and that NASA is aware that this ...

The idea that Mars could affect Earth’s climate sounds dramatic, since climate change is usually linked to cars, factories, forests, and oceans, not distant planets. Yet Earth is part of a solar ...
