Placing a mass driver on the moon has long been a dream of space exploration enthusiasts. It would open up so many ...

When the Moon is directly overhead, its gravitational pull slightly reduces a person's weight on Earth. This is because the ...

NASA-supported scientists have developed a method to compute how tides affect the interiors of planets and moons, which will ...

The presence of a partially-molten layer between the Moon's rocky mantle and solid metal core is looking more likely following a study on its changing shape and gravity. Researchers from the NASA ...

Time on the moon differs from Earth due to gravity and the moon’s unique day-night cycle, complicating time synchronization.

Basically, 1 second on Earth is slightly faster than 1 second on the moon, due to differences in gravity and velocity. This effect is called time dilation, and the difference in time adds up to ...

Using a 100-foot telescopic crane and some bungee cords, the team allowed the runner to experience Moon levels of gravity. A video shows a researcher effortlessly running along the circular ...

With US astronauts scheduled to return to the Moon in 2026, it might be nice for them to really and truly know ahead of time what the gravity situation is going to be like. At 1/6th Earth’s ...
