Although Earth is approximately spherical, its gravity field doesn't adhere to the same geometry. In visualizations, it more closely resembles a potato, with bumps and divots. One of the strongest of ...

For a long time, scientists knew of a “gravity hole” beneath Antarctica—an area with particularly weak gravitational force. Considering the various threats currently faced by the region, scientists ...

The planet's radius from pole to center has been revised to 66,842 km, and at the equator to 71,488 km. That makes it about ...

The Sun would be a far more powerful telescope than any humanity could create in the near future. But to use it, we need to get to 650 AU.

This year, ASC26 has attracted more than 300 student teams from universities and colleges across Chinese mainland, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Colombia, Brazil, ...
