Although Earth is approximately spherical, its gravity field doesn't adhere to the same geometry. In visualizations, it more closely resembles a potato, with bumps and divots. One of the strongest of ...
The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...
Gravitational anomalies detected by NASA and the German Aerospace Center’s GRACE satellites confused scientists for years. Here’s what happened.
A new map of Mars’ gravity made with three NASA spacecraft is the most detailed to date, providing a revealing glimpse into the hidden interior of the Red Planet. “Gravity maps allow us to see inside ...

Antarctica sits above the strongest negative gravity anomaly on Earth, a region where the planet’s gravitational pull dips so ...
In A Nutshell Antarctica, not the Indian Ocean, hosts Earth’s strongest nonhydrostatic geoid depression when scientists ...
Twin NASA probes orbiting the moon have generated the highest resolution gravity field map of any celestial body. The new map, created by the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission, ...
