An exhaustive examination of lunar gravity using data obtained by two NASA robotic spacecraft is offering new clues about why ...

A new scientific breakthrough from NASA has shed light on one of the Moon's long-standing mysteries: why its Earth-facing side looks so distinct from the far side we never see. Using data gathered ...

NASA’s GRAIL mission reveals thermal differences in the moon’s mantle, explaining surface contrasts between its sides.

The Sun and the Earth can also affect the tides. We'll start with the Moon. The Moon affects the tides because of gravity. You will have noticed that every time you jump, you always land back on ...

The moon does, however, experience changes in its shape and gravity. How the moon responds to these tidal forces is, to a large degree, dependent on its internal structure. This means the tidal ...

A Grant Petty, professor in the department of atmospheric and oceanic sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison: Gravity helps ... But our moon exerts its own gravitational force that ...

This is roughly as close to Earth as today’s geosynchronous communications and weather satellites, and about 10 times closer than the Moon is today. Because the force of gravity is stronger at ...

We know that the Moon’s gravity has an important effect on Earth - from controlling the tides to affecting the planet’s rotation - but slowly, imperceptibly, over billions of years ...

Yet there’s no evidence so far that humans—or any animal for that matter—can detect such minute changes in gravity ... believes the moon-related changes in sleep could be affecting the ...

Gravity Study Shows Why the Moon's Two Sides Look So Different By Will Dunham WASHINGTON (Reuters) -An exhaustive examination of lunar gravity using data obtained by two NASA robotic spacecraft is ...

The Sun, like the Moon and the Earth, also has its own gravity that can affect the tides. Although the Sun is much larger than the Moon and has more gravity, it is also much farther away, which means ...
