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 ...

LOS ANGELES — Over the New Year's weekend, a pair of spacecraft the size of washing machines are set to enter orbit around the moon. Their mission is to measure the moon's gravity field and determine ...

The presence of a partially-molten layer between the Moon's rocky mantle and solid metal core is looking more likely following a study on its changing shape and gravity. Researchers from the NASA ...

Mass is mass is mass. Physicists have three different definitions of mass, all thought to be equivalent. Measurements of the distance between Earth and the moon confirm that two of those masses are ...
