NASA launches first asteroid-collecting mission
NASA will conduct their first-ever mission to collect an asteroid tomorrow, and it will likely get a boost from Mother Earth. Earth's gravity will slingshot Osiris-Rex towards an asteroid that's near… Audio
Exactly where is sea level? Gravity can tell us
After two years of measuring gravity from a plane, LINZ has just released a new vertical datum for New Zealand and its coastal seas. This allows the accurate measurement of sea level. Audio
