An international research collaboration has used advanced computer simulations to investigate how faint radio signals from ...

Because the Earth is doing the work of increasing the Moon's momentum, the Earth's rotation slows down in turn, as its ...

So the bottom line is that the gravity of the closer tidal bulge on the Earth is pulling the Moon forward, which increases ...

Faint radio signals from the early Universe, soon detectable by Moon missions, may reveal how dark matter shaped gas cooling ...

New research shows how faint radio signals from the early Universe, soon to be detected by Moon missions, could reveal dark matter's secrets.

Tides come from a difference in gravity across an object. The force of gravity exerted by the Moon is about 4% stronger on the side of Earth that faces toward the Moon, compared to the opposite side ...

New study provides clearer insight into how the Moon formed and why its materials closely resemble those of Earth.

Today, Earth’s moon is uninhabitable and does not contain a trace of life. It does not have much of an atmosphere, a drop of ...

Over the past 60 years, scientists have largely succeeded in building a computer model of Earth to see what the future holds.

A gem of a find by The Public Domain Review of a collection from the Rijksmuseum: photographs of plaster models of the ...
