NASA’s latest gravitational data model of the Moon generated a litany of discoveries from ancient volcanoes to navigational ...

When teachers explain ocean tides, they frequently describe how the moon's gravity pulls on Earth and all of its water. This, they often say, leads to a gravitational imbalance, which stretches ...

After a pair of satellites failed to reach their desired orbit around the moon last year, China used a novel gravity "slingshot" tactic to get the satellites in the correct spot. NASA is no longer ...

Everything behaves differently in a low-gravity environment. As humans prepare to make a long-term stay on the Moon, and eventually Mars, it is important to delve into numerous elements — even ...

"If the satellites were destroyed, that would have been a waste of the years of effort that we put in and the money invested ...

The force of gravity is weaker on the Moon than on the Earth, so here you can jump much higher! Gravity also acts between the Moon and the Earth and keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun.

So, the team solved the issue by using gravity from the Earth, moon and sun to "slingshot" the satellites to their destination. The procedure took 123 days to complete. "If you don't want to ...
