The European Space Agency’s ACES mission could ultimately pave the way for a global network of atomic clocks that make these measurements far more accurate.

To create a standard zero point, geodesists create a model of Earth known as a geoid. Every point on the surface of this lumpy, potato-shaped model experiences the same gravity, which means that ...

The intricacy of the Earth’s surface ... that geophysicists are especially interested in is the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL). Since its discovery in 1948, scientists have been perplexed ...

“The existence of the Indian Ocean geoid low is one of the most outstanding problems in Earth Sciences,” says Professor Attreyee Ghosh, an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Earth ...

For this reason the integration between these geoid models and GNSS leveling data can make it more consistent with satellite tracking. Three surfaces are considered in geometric to orthometric ...

A new study predicts Earth will lose its oxygen in a billion years. Toho University researchers used NASA models for this finding. The sun's aging will cause water evaporation and temperature rise.

Humans have known the Earth is round for more than 2,000 years, but a movement questioning that fact has reached the corners of American politics. People involved in politics in Alabama ...

Here’s how it works. A newly discovered house-size asteroid is set to make a close, yet harmless approach to Earth today (May 21), passing within one-third of the Earth-moon distance.

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers. Helldivers 2's Heart of Democracy update is now live, and nothing less than Super Earth itself is at stake. The latest update for Arrowhead Studio ...

Earth’s core is apparently a bit leakier than scientists expected. In a new study published in Nature, researchers describe evidence that traces of precious metals from Earth’s metallic core ...
