A study on the ISS found that astronauts over-grip objects because their brains retain expectations of Earth’s gravity.
Rumours that Earth's gravity suddenly disappeared for a few seconds have circulated widely on the Internet lately. This rumor ...

Picture this: You’re floating in deep space, and there's a cute little beach-ball-size asteroid just 3 meters away. The rock’s mass is twice that of yours. You want to get to that asteroid, but you ...
When you travel through the Universe, it isn't just a free ride through empty space. Although you might not think about it very often, there are forces arising from the presence of everything else, ...
Researchers have succeeded in measuring the gravitational field of a gold sphere, just 2 mm in diameter, using a highly sensitive pendulum - and thus the smallest gravitational force. The experiment ...
When employees enter a new organization for the first time, they moonwalk, like astronauts bouncing on the moon's surface.
