These two "pancakes" represent the most accurate flat map of Earth ever made, the study researchers said. Unlike other flat maps, the new circular map doesn't downsize or supersize the area of ...

The new Earth gravity map, which was unveiled in late March, is the most accurate model of gravity fluctuations around the world. It was recorded by the European Space Agency's GOCE satellite.

GOCE managed to map the gravitational strength of the Earth beneath it to a precision of 10 –5 m/s 2. While we commonly quote the gravitational force as 9.81 m/s 2 , this satellite was measuring ...

New Gravity Map Reveals Lumpy Earth. The best map yet of Earth's gravity field can help track ocean currents and study the forces behind major earthquakes, experts say.

Though he never actually crossed it, the Greek mathematician Pythagoras is sometimes credited with having first conceived of the Equator, calculating its location on the Earth’s sphere more than ...

But scientists have now created the most accurate gravity map ever, using data collected by a European Space Agency satellite called GOCE. GOCE orbits the Earth at a mere 254.9 kilometers (158.4 ...

When searching a location on the map, the website’s 3D rotatable globe will point out where on Earth that area was located million of years ago. The map will even show users what dinosaurs used ...

Based on pulsars, the famed 'we are here' illustration was always a doomed endeavor. 40 years later, it's even worse than we imagined.

This map, published by South Dakotan Orlando Ferguson in 1893, offers a unique vision of the Earth as a concave field, with a round convex area in the middle. Surrounded by Bible passages arguing ...

Scientists develop and publish the first whole-Earth plate tectonic map which shows half-a-billion years of the Earth's history, and reveals how much has changed. Take a look at the map and learn ...
