Sentences with phrase «about gravity anomalies»
I'd read about gravity anomalies being used to map changes in Amazon groundwater and something clicked: these data could be used to help to isolate surface emissions from wetlands which are controlled primarily by changes in groundwater and temperature.

The anomaly is about a 10 billionth of the acceleration due to gravity on earth, so it's a 10 - billionth g of a g force, so it's a very, very small effect you're looking for and the kick you get, the rebound you get from light and heat coming off the spacecraft, is also very, very small.
Most physicists doubt the anomaly's existence, because it would challenge our ideas about how gravity works.
Studying the gravity anomalies created by an impact is a powerful way to find out more about a crater — particularly one that is now buried, like the Chicxulub crater.
«The new gravity map will be helpful for future Mars exploration, because better knowledge of the planet's gravity anomalies helps mission controllers insert spacecraft more precisely into orbit about Mars.
«With this new map, we've been able to see gravity anomalies as small as about 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) across, and we've determined the crustal thickness of Mars with a resolution of around 120 kilometers (almost 75 miles),» Genova said in the NASA statement.
