Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are icy bodies that vary widely in size, from large dwarf planets like Pluto and Eris—each ...

In a paper published earlier this month in Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists led by Jonathan Richardson of the ...

The research paper reports a breakthrough that will enable gravitational-wave detectors to reach extreme laser powers. It ...

In a nutshell Scientists have discovered that Earth’s inner core isn’t just changing its rotation speed – it’s actually ...

Why is Pluto no longer a planet? Discover the real reason behind Pluto’s reclassification as a dwarf planet and the science that led to this change.

According to a recent YouGov poll, 35% of Americans think Pluto is not a planet. But they are all wrong—kind of. To get to the bottom of whether Pluto is a planet, I tracked down planetary scientist ...

A "gravity tractor," a large spacecraft that slowly tugs the asteroid away using its own gravitational pull, has also been theorized. If all else fails, the long warning time means authorities could ...

In March, my birth month, I tried to watch as many films from my birth year, 1976, as possible. When Kris Kristofferson died ...

{r^2}\] Where \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) represent the different masses, \(r\) is the distance between the centre of mass of each object and \(G\) is the Universal Gravitational Constant.

Gravitational fields are a region of space where masses will experience a force. It is always an attractive force. All masses create gravitational fields. The more massive an object, the larger its ...

Netflix has a unique gravitational pull in the streaming world, so it’s understandable if you can’t break away, but at least consider some ways to defray the cost: You can also look for ...
