Astronomers have identified a tiny quasi-moon, 2025 PN7, orbiting near Earth for about 60 years. This 62-foot-wide near-Earth ...

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.

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 ...
