Researchers have detected fluctuations in Earth's magnetosphere created by the same tidal forces that the moon exerts on the oceans. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
This tidal force causes the star to be stretched vertically while it is squeezed horizontally. This turns the star into a thin strand of stellar plasma in a process known as "spaghettification." ...
Using various telescopes worldwide, an international team of astronomers has observed a tidal disruption event (TDE) known as ...
Gravitational forces from Jupiter’s four largest moons (from left: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto) push and pull on each other’s insides, helping to keep the interiors sloshy, a study suggests.
The tidal forces each moon applies to the others are keeping them warmer than they would otherwise be. Jupiter’s moon Europa has a subsurface ocean that may hold life.
A new study from the University of Arizona indicates that Jupiter's four largest moons are as warm as they are due to tidal forces caused by the moons' gravitational fields tugging on one another ...
Moreover, there is little high-resolution observation on how tidal forces affect the changes in seismic wave speed within the fault zone over time.
