Our 11-year-old son is fascinated with those astronauts who are stuck on the space station. One of the things he asks about a ...

Nasa astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, after spending more than eight months in space, are expected to return to ...

That’s because our bodies have evolved to overcome and to use the pull of gravity. The absence of that constant resistance affects everything. That’s why astronauts in space spend hours each ...

The main cause of dizziness when lying down is BPPV. It is the most common form of vertigo. BPPV usually occurs when calcium carbonate crystals, or otoconia, that sit in a gravity-sensing part of ...

These disturbances cause the air to rise and move in this pattern. For gravity wave clouds to form, the atmosphere must be in a relatively stable state. Under calm conditions, the air exhibits ...

A new study by physicist Robert J. Scherrer from Vanderbilt University calculates the smallest black hole size that could ...

The tidal forces produced by a tiny black hole would have an interesting affect on human bodies.

Aviation experts say investigators will consider the weather conditions, as well as the possibility of human error or an ...

There are also relativistic effects that can cause particles to spiral inward toward the sun. Gravity is the force that governs the structure and motion of the solar system, keeping celestial ...

Without the pull of gravity to work against ... leads to persistent nasal congestion; causes tissues of the face and upper body to become swollen; affects the inner ear and vision; and even ...

Gravitational effects, though typically overlooked in quantum computing hardware, cause minor shifts in a ... This discovery provides insight into how gravity could impact quantum hardware ...
