Did you know that gravity isn't the same everywhere on Earth? In Canada's Hudson Bay, gravity is slightly weaker than the global average—an anomaly scientists have been studying since the 1960s. As ...

A huge, mysterious so-called “gravity hole” under the Indian Ocean might have been formed from the remnants of an ancient sea, according to a new study. Researchers recently offered the possible ...

Geologists have long been captivated by the Indian Ocean's "gravity hole," where the Earth's gravitational pull weakens, its mass falls, and sea levels drop by about 328 feet (100 meters). After years ...

The Indian Ocean has a gravity hole where sea levels are about 300 feet lower than nearby areas. Local gravity is slightly lower there, which has puzzled scientists for decades. The gravity hole may ...

Astronomers are announcing today that the precise gravity field of the lunar far side and the global lunar topography map were obtained by KAGUYA spacecraft. The report is being presented by Dr. Sho ...
