A discovery about the moon made in the 1960s is helping researchers unlock secrets about Earth’s ocean today. By applying a method of calculating gravity that was first developed for the moon to data ...

Six months into its mission to precisely measure Earth's shifting water masses and map their effects on Earth's gravity field, the joint NASA-German Aerospace Center Gravity Recovery and Climate ...

Ohio State University scientists have used minute fluctuations in gravity to produce the best map yet of ocean tides that flow beneath two large Antarctic ice shelves. They did it using the twin ...

The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On (GRACE-FO) mission, shown in an artist's rendering, will measure tiny fluctuations in Earth's gravitational field to show how water moves around ...

"Revolutionary" is a word you hear often when people talk about the GRACE mission. Since the twin satellites of the NASA/German Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) launched on March 17, ...

After more than 15 productive years in orbit, the U.S./German GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) satellite mission has ended science operations. During their mission, the twin GRACE ...

Earth’s center of gravity can be located! We talked a few months ago about measuring the force of gravity surrounding the Moon, and that the way we do this measurement is by having twin satellites, ...

Earth is a lumpy, squishy place - or so the newest, best-ever gravity map of the planet has revealed. A flying pair of American and German satellites, known as GRACE, has measured the uneven gravity ...

Image: This map shows changes in ocean bottom pressure measured by NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (Grace). Red shows where pressure varies by large amounts, blue where it changes very ...

Ohio State University scientists have used minute fluctuations in gravity to produce the best map yet of ocean tides that flow beneath two large Antarctic ice shelves. They did it using the twin ...
