Megastructures have big impacts on the world - namely the people around and the environment they affect. However, this one ...

Every so often, Jupiter's strong gravity sends an asteroid hurtling through the solar system, sometimes towards Earth. Last ...

The fall equinox is a significant event in any tipped planet's life. Seasons are caused by a planet's tilted axis. Those which orbit the sun standing nearly straight up and down with little to no ...

As of Thursday, Sept. 18, the moon phase is Waning Crescent, and it is 11% lit up to us on Earth, according to NASA's Daily ...

The moon had a fluctuating orbit around the Earth, but recent changes in distance could be caused by the tidal force shifting the planet’s mass.

The Moon is getting 1½ inches (3.8 centimeters) farther away from the Earth every year. Scientists measure the distance to the Moon by bouncing lasers off mirrors placed there by space probes and ...

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

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 ...
