A persistent "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica gives scientists a window into Earth's deep interior, showing how processes far below reshape the planet's gravity field over millions of years.

Astronomers had decent guesses about how these peanut-shaped asteroids formed but couldn’t get the physics to work—until now.

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity ...

A conspiracy theory that spread on social media claims that gravity will disappear for seven seconds this August, and that NASA is aware that this will happen. A physics professor explains why this is ...

If humankind is to explore deep space, one small passenger should not be left behind: microbes. In fact, it would be impossible to leave them behind, since they live on and in our bodies, surfaces and ...

Why is Antarctica frozen? It is in the polar region, which is one explanation. But something deep underneath the continent ...

About 85 percent of the matter in the universe is thought to be dark matter, yet there is still no confirmed direct detection of any dark matter particle. Ground-based detectors, space-based ...

European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and technology for future moon landings as part of the NASA-led Artemis missions. The ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. From aboard the International Space Station, astronaut Don Pettit shared footage of himself playing with a yo-yo in zero gravity, ...

NASA's head of planetary defence has revealed what keeps her up at night - tens of thousands of 'city killer' asteroids that remain undetected.

An astrophysicist explains what wormholes are and how these theoretical space-time tunnels have popped up in the solutions to a set of decadesold equations.

When we look up at the night sky and see a satellite glide past, we might not consider climate change or the ozone layer. Space may feel separate from the environmental systems that sustain life on ...
