A team of geophysicists has traced the origins of Earth’s most extreme gravitational anomaly, a vast depression beneath ...

A persistent "gravity hole" beneath Antarctica gives scientists a window into Earth's deep interior, showing how processes far below reshape the planet's gravity field over millions of years.

Gravity may seem constant, but it actually varies across the planet—and one of the strangest places is Antarctica, where gravity is slightly weaker than expected. Scientists have traced this “gravity ...

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 ...

Gravitational anomalies detected by NASA and the German Aerospace Center’s GRACE satellites confused scientists for years. Here’s what happened.

Satellites detected a strange gravity signal off the coast of Africa nearly 20 years ago, suggesting something unusual had happened deep within the planet to distort its gravitational field, according ...

A huge, mysterious so-called “gravity hole” under the Indian Ocean might have been formed from the remnants of an ancient sea, according to a new study. Researchers recently offered the possible ...

Did you know that gravity isn't the same everywhere on Earth? In Canada's Hudson Bay, gravity is slightly weaker than the global average—an anomaly scientists have been studying since the 1960s. As ...

South of Sri Lanka, the Indian Ocean is home to the planet's lowest gravity anomaly, a large and subtle depression in the gravitational field. Despite the seemingly calm ocean surface, the region's ...
