Stargazers in the U.S. will witness the razor-thin waning crescent moon rise close to Venus and the bright star Regulus in ...
Faint hydrogen signals from the cosmic Dark Ages may soon help determine the mass of dark matter particles. Simulations suggest future Moon-based observatories could distinguish between warm and cold ...
NASA Juno spacecraft data has been used to create an animation of "Steeple Mountain" and a lava lake known as Loki Patera on Jupiter's moon Io. Credit: Space.com | NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS | edited ...
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 ...
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 ...
