Kepler finds stars’ flickers reveal the gravity at their surface Provides a new way of measuring a star's properties and evolution.

A recent statistical study has revealed that exoplanets with a mass of between 1 and 100 times the mass of Earth have a surface gravity surprisingly similar to terrestrial gravity.

Jason Latimer from Impossible Science defies gravity with the surface tension of water.

Surface gravity is a key stellar parameter and having a new way to determine its value could lead to further insights into extrasolar planets (exoplanets), which are planets that orbit stars other ...

Use our calculator to estimate your weight on other planets and moons in the solar system, based on Sir Isaac Newton's equations.

Measuring Stellar Gravity There are three traditional methods for estimating a star’s surface gravity: photometric, spectroscopic and asteroseismic.

GRAIL's twin spacecraft pinpointed the locations of large, dense regions on the Moon called mass concentrations, which are characterized by strong gravitational pull.

In turn, some areas on the moon's surface have stronger gravity while others have weaker. Is there water on the moon? Breaking down lunar discoveries through the years Is the moon a planet?

The way a star flickers can shed light on the strength of gravity's pull on its surface, researchers say. And discovering more about a star's pull can yield key insights on its evolutionary state ...
