What can Earth-sized exoplanets teach scientists about the formation and evolution of exoplanets throughout the cosmos? This is what a study recently posted to the arXiv preprint server hopes to ...

In an unprecedented discovery, astronomers have detected a rare exoplanet located at the very edge of the Milky Way galaxy, ...

Spiegel Ryan senior partner Neil Oberman has confirmed to the The Suburban that the RCMP will soon be sending him documents ...

Bhubaneswar: National Investigation Agency (NIA) is all set to take over the investigation from Odisha police into the loot ...

Nasa's Gravity Probe B has produced remarkable new confirmation of some key predictions by Albert Einstein. The satellite's observations show the massive body of the Earth is very subtly warping ...

Faster-than-light neutrinos may eventually sully Einstein’s legacy (see story #1), but in the meantime another experiment has confirmed two predictions of his general theory of relativity. The $700 ...

Launched in 2004, the Gravity Probe B mission used four ultraprecise gyroscopes—devices used to measure orientation—housed in a satellite to measure two aspects of Einstein's theory about gravity.

In the mid-2000s, after more than 40 years of development, the $800-million Stanford University-led Gravity Probe B detected frame dragging. This effect, predicted by Einstein's theory, ...

Newton made it clear that gravity was a force operating between any two masses. Einstein’s theory makes space (actually spacetime) an active participant. “Space tells mass how to move; Mass ...

The gyroscopes in Gravity Probe B rotated by an amount consistent with Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Wes Mountain/The Conversation, CC BY-ND 2005: LIGO hunt ends.
