A persistent "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica gives scientists a window into Earth's deep interior, showing how processes far below reshape the planet's gravity field over millions of years.

In 2007, something strange happened over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. According to satellites orbiting Earth, our planet's gravity field developed a continent-scale anomaly before subsiding to its ...

A team of geophysicists has traced the origins of Earth’s most extreme gravitational anomaly, a vast depression beneath ...

Gravity may seem constant, but it actually varies across the planet—and one of the strangest places is Antarctica, where gravity is slightly weaker than expected. Scientists have traced this “gravity ...

Thanks to Newton, we all know that what comes up must come down. But did you know that what comes down comes down with just slightly less pressure if you're standing in Europe or the South Pacific? We ...

Here’s what you will learn when you read this story: Even Earth can feel alien sometimes. Strange gravity signals indicating shifts in the gravitational field (picked up by observatories in the past) ...

A conspiracy theory that spread on social media claims that gravity will disappear for seven seconds this August, and that NASA is aware that this will happen. A physics professor explains why this is ...

Ultra-accurate simulations of the gravity field guide toward a new mathematical foundation of gravity modelling. A layered Earth. (Courtesy: iStock/AlexLMX) The Earth is not a perfect sphere. This ...

The Earth is a dynamic system constantly undergoing change. As the processes of change affect the Earth's topography—the heights of land, ice, and ocean surfaces—they also modify the distribution of ...

Root, an Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology, investigates the significance of quantum satellite gravimetry in this intriguing analysis ...
