Researchers used a pair of powerful supercomputers to simulate the potential trajectories of 1 million satellites in a ...

Researchers propose a new technique to identify supermassive black hole binaries through gravitational lensing causing ...

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory simulated one million satellite orbits in the vast stretch of space between Earth and the Moon, and fewer than one in ten survived the full ...

Supermassive black hole binaries form naturally when galaxies merge, but scientists have only confidently observed a very few of these systems that are widely separated. Black hole binaries that ...

Once again, physicists have confirmed one of Albert Einstein's core ideas about gravity — this time with the help of a neutron star flashing across space. The SEP has appeared to be true for a long ...

Antarctica sits above the strongest negative gravity anomaly on Earth, a region where the planet’s gravitational pull dips so ...

Planets orbit their parent stars while separated by enormous distances – in our solar system, planets are like grains of sand in a region the size of a football field. The time that planets take to ...

The Earth is a dynamic system—it has a fluid, mobile atmosphere and oceans, a continually changing distribution of ice, snow, and groundwater, a fluid core undergoing hydromagnetic motion, a mantle ...

Each pair of planets completes their orbits in times that are the ratios of whole numbers, allowing the planets to align and exert a gravitational push and pull on the other during their orbit. This ...
