A persistent "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica gives scientists a window into Earth's deep interior, showing how processes ...

In 2007, something strange happened over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. According to satellites orbiting Earth, our planet's gravity field developed a continent-scale anomaly before subsiding to its ...

A region beneath Antarctica where Earth’s gravitational pull is measurably weaker than anywhere else on the planet has persisted for roughly 70 million years, according to new research that traces the ...

In A Nutshell Antarctica, not the Indian Ocean, hosts Earth’s strongest nonhydrostatic geoid depression when scientists ...

Learn how Antarctica’s gravity hole formed inside Earth and grew stronger as its ice sheets took hold.

Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...

“Quantum sensing opens an entirely new domain for U.S. space leadership,” said Dana Anderson, Chief Science Officer at Infleqtion. “By deploying this technology in orbit, we are demonstrating the ...

While Jupiter may be our planetary guardian angel, protecting us from harm, gas giants in other solar systems might actually wreak havoc on other exoplanets nearby. In our solar system, Jupiter's huge ...

A shifting of Earth’s poles, referred to as ‘True Polar Wander,” combined with the sinking of tectonic plates during the Cenozoic Era, altered the planet’s interior, with rising hot mantle material ...

The Juno spacecraft now orbiting Jupiter has a suite of science instruments which will investigate the existence of a possible solid planetary core, map Jupiter’s intense magnetic field, measure the ...
