This is where it leaves a tangible imprint, evidence that there exists a force more powerful than gravity at work within the Earth whose influence extends very far. Way back in the earliest ...

European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and ...

Exiting Earth's gravity takes an enormous amount of fuel and power. Due to this, spacecraft strapped to rockets are limited in their carry capacity and every gram must be accounted for.

The #LucyMission will perform its 2nd Earth-gravity assist on Dec. 12, putting it on a new course toward its first Trojan asteroid encounter in 2027. On the way, Lucy will pass through the main ...
