Clarify one of physics’ most fundamental concepts with “g”: Gravity vs. Gravitational Field explained! 🌍 In this video, we break down the difference between gravitational acceleration and the ...

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 ...

Supermassive black holes rarely travel alone. Most large galaxies hide one at the center, and when galaxies collide, the two ...

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 ...

A mysterious gravity dip beneath Antarctica is growing stronger, shaped by deep Earth forces over millions of years. Scientists say it may even have influenced ancient sea levels and ice sheet growth.

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 geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

For a single supermassive black hole, extremely strong lensing occurs only when a star lies almost exactly along the line of ...

The big bang wasn’t the start of everything, but it has been impossible to see what came before. Now a new kind of cosmology is lifting the veil on the beginning of time ...

An international collaboration of astrophysicists that includes researchers from Yale has created and tested a detection system that uses gravitational waves to map out the locations of merging black ...

Researchers at Oxford University and the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) are ...

Scientists have named newly detected merging supermassive black holes after ’Lord of the Rings’ locations, using gravitational wave data and quasar observations to map their mergers.
