Combining the way that massive galaxies and galaxy clusters bend space and magnify our view of the distant universe with ...

Spacecraft-to-spacecraft tracking observations from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) have been used to construct a gravitational field of the Moon to spherical harmonic degree and ...

Abstract: We present a technique for constructing a ldquocleanrdquo texture map of a partially occluded building facade from a series of images taken from a moving camera. Building regions blocked by ...

By analyzing subtle shifts in spacecraft trajectories, a team led by Ryan Park at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has produced the most detailed gravity map of the Moon to date – and uncovered a ...

The findings come from NASA’s Magellan mission, which orbited Venus in the early 1990s and delivered the most detailed maps of the planet’s surface and gravity field to date. “Coronae are not found on ...

According to Suzanne Smrekar, VERITAS principal investigator and planetary scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, “The VERITAS gravity maps of Venus will boost the resolution by at ...
