Astronomers have found a clever new way to slice and dice the flickering light from a distant star in a way that reveals the strength of gravity at its surface. That is important because a star’s ...

The first instrument to directly measure gravity on the surface of an asteroid has undergone testing in ESA's Mechanical Systems Laboratory. The GRASS gravimeter will be landed on the surface of the ...

Water behaves differently under the Moon’s weaker gravity, a spaceflight experiment has shown. The findings suggest that ...

Living and working in space for extended periods of time presents a number of challenges. These include radiation, as locations beyond Earth's protective magnetosphere are exposed to greater levels of ...

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 ...

Earth looks smooth from space, but its gravity varies from place to place. Depending on where you stand, you weigh a tiny bit more or a tiny bit less, and NASA's gravity maps have spent time tracking ...

Gravity across Earth is pretty reliable. Drop a ball on the ground in England, fly to Australia, and drop the ball again, and you will find they fall to the ground at pretty much the same rate. But we ...
