Here’s a Snapple-cap factoid that’d be fun to whip out in conversation: on a planet the size of a ladybug, objects would fall 30 billion times slower than they do here on Earth. And how do scientists ...

Recent observations of gravitational waves from merging black holes have confirmed a theory proposed by physicist Stephen ...

Gravity is the force of action between two objects. It’s called a natural force because it acts at a distance rather than needing to be in contact. Gravity is the force that holds us down on Earth and ...

Gravity is a fundamental force of physics, one which we Earthlings tend to take for granted. You can't really blame us. Having evolved over the course of billions of years in Earth's environment, we ...

Photos and videos of astronauts on the ISS show them floating around, but saying there's zero gravity isn't fully accurate.

Let's file this post under "mistakes that Rhett made that he doesn't want to make again." If I don't write it down, I won't learn from my mistakes. How about I start this with the following problem.

One of the most astonishing facts about science is how universally applicable the laws of nature are. Every particle obeys the same rules, experiences the same forces, and sees the same fundamental ...

Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

Even teeny objects obey the law of gravity. A gold ball just 2 millimeters wide, with a mass of about 90 milligrams, is now the smallest object to have its gravitational pull measured. Observations of ...

If the Sun were to spontaneously cease emitting light, we wouldn't know about it for about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. The light that's arriving here on Earth, right at this very moment, was emitted ...

JPL navigation engineer Dr. Davide Farnocchia compiled the data that captured the phenomenon as the comet reached perihelion.

Now that Angry Birds Space is actually available on various platforms, I realize I made some mistakes. Just to be clear, my previous analysis was based ONLY on a preview video. Now that I actually ...
