When we think about orbits, we usually picture the Earth zooming around the sun. But does the sun just sit there? Or is it on its own journey? I asked my friend Guy Worthey. He’s a space scientist at ...

Need to send a message across interstellar space? Use the sun for a signal boost. A new proposal suggests that the sun’s gravity could be used to amplify signals from an interstellar space probe, ...

A solitary celestial object — more massive than the sun, yet far smaller — is wandering the galaxy a few thousand light-years from Earth. It might be the first isolated stellar-mass black hole to be ...

Using the beloved soft-body physics simulator BeamNG.drive, Orgill drives a pickup truck and a small container truck around in different levels of gravity. Even shifting from one gravity to another ...

Have you ever wondered why when you throw something into the air it falls straight back to the ground? This is because of gravity, an invisible force which acts on objects, pulling them towards the ...
