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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In 2007, something strange happened over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. According to satellites orbiting Earth, our planet's gravity ...

A strange image showing a bumpy Earth, looking almost like a potato, has been making the rounds online. Yet what NASA is ...

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 ...

NASA scientists have discovered an electric field encompassing Earth’s atmosphere that is as “fundamental” as gravity — and could even give clues about possible life on other planets. A team of NASA ...

Using observations from a NASA suborbital rocket, an international team of scientists, for the first time, has successfully measured a planet-wide electric field thought to be as fundamental to Earth ...

In the chapters following this one we address specific fields of research that we believe will particularly benefit from a satellite gravity mission. In this chapter, we mention some of the ways in ...

Q-CTRL uses quantum gravity sensing and map matching to navigate a vessel without GPS during trials off Australia.

In geodesy, the Earth's gravitational field is commonly expressed as an expansion in spherical harmonic functions. These functions arise when Laplace's equation (the fundamental differential equation ...
