The motion of the moon and the falling of objects on Earth might be explained by the same gravity. This is a rather bold idea ...

A "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica is offering scientists a rare glimpse into Earth's deep interior, a dynamic record of slow-moving processes that have been reshaping our planet for tens of millions ...

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 ...

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 ...

"We asked what happens if the thermodynamic process behind gravity is not just heat flow," Magueijo explained. "In ordinary thermodynamics, heat is almost never the whole story: There may also be ...

We use a day as 24 hours. When we look at a clock, it feels as though time from morning to night progresses at a constant ...

The new year debuted with an unexpected space-related conspiracy theory on social media that made us forget about the 3I/ATLAS comet conspiracy that preceded it. An imminent alien contact (3I/ATLAS) ...

NASA is pushing back on a conspiracy about "Project Anchor" and the supposed possibility that Earth would be gravity-less for seven seconds on Wednesday, Aug. 12 "The only way for the Earth to lose ...

Many people have been surprised by NASA’s latest visualization of Earth, which gives the planet a shape resembling a potato. However, the image does not show Earth’s actual physical shape. Instead, it ...

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 ...
