Placing a mass driver on the moon has long been a dream of space exploration enthusiasts. It would open up so many possibilities for the exploration of our solar system and the possibility of actually ...

You may have seen videos of astronauts jumping on the moon.Their movements appear bouncier and lighter than how we move on Earth, and this is thanks to gravity. Gravity is "the force by which a ...

However, the moon's gravitational field is not consistent throughout, as evidenced by Bouguer gravity anomalies. As Earth's natural satellite, the moon plays a vital role in shaping our planet's ...

Lopsided moon. While the detection of lunar gravity anomalies provides evidence for the sinking of a dense layer in the moon's interior and allows for a more precise estimate of how and when this ...

Engineers didn't immediately acknowledge the issue during that broadcast, apart from one controller uttering "Whoa," followed ...

The GRAIL mission (Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory) discovered gravitational anomalies on the Moon, whereby one of the spacecraft would accelerate while flying over certain regions.

Did you know that gravity isn’t the same everywhere on Earth? In Canada’s Hudson Bay, gravity is slightly weaker than the global average—an anomaly scientists have been studying since the 1960s.

Anomalies in the moon’s gravitational field suggest our satellite’s insides are warmer on one side than the other – which means that its interior is asymmetric ...

Gravity anomalies are where an object observed in free fall accelerates at a rate different from the rate models of gravity for that location would predict.. At the Puerto Rico Trench, gravity has ...

Asteroid twice the size of Chicago spun Jupiter's moon around, made gravity anomaly - study A new study claims that a gigantic asteroid twice the size of Chicago may have struck Ganymede, ...
