Thanks to Swarm's precise measurements along with those from Champ — a mission that ended in 2010 after measuring Earth's gravity and magnetic fields for more than 10 years — scientists have not only been able to find the magnetic field generated by ocean tides but, remarkably, they have used this new information to image the electrical nature of Earth's upper mantle 250 km below the ocean floor.
For starters, measurements of Jupiter's gravity, determined from the tug of the planet on the spacecraft, suggest that the planet doesn't have a solid, compact core, Bolton and colleagues report in one of the new papers.

The team led by three principal investigators, Heino Falcke, Radboud University Nijmegen, Michael Kramer, Max - Planck - Institut für Radioastronomie, and Luciano Rezzolla, Goethe University in Frankfurt and Max - Planck - Institut für Gravitationsphysik, Potsdam, hopes to measure the shadow cast by the event horizon of the black hole in the center of the Milky Way, find new radiopulsars near this black hole, and combine these measurements with advanced computer simulations of the behaviour of light and matter around black holes as predicted by theories of gravity.
The East Antarctic Ice Sheet, long seen as the stable side of Antarctica's vast lode of ice, appears to have been losing mass, particularly in coastal regions, over the past three years, according to a new analysis using gravity measurements.
