Scientists have captured magnetic signatures from Earth's ocean tides in the finest detail yet. These faint signals, which certain satellites can detect when flying at very low orbits, may hold ...

While Earth's ocean tides rise and fall due to the influence of our moon's gravity, on other celestial bodies where liquid oceans are internal, such as on Titan, ...

That the surface of the earth itself may be subject to tides like those of the ocean has long seemed probable,* but there has been no tidal gauge to measure these heavings accurately. At the ...

I AM in entire sympathy with Mr. Lambert's plea in NATURE of June 21, p. 889, for further research on earth tides. It is much to be regretted that so little has hitherto been effected in that ...

The rhythmic rise and fall of ocean tides are primarily driven by the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun, along with Earth's rotation. The moon's gravity creates bulges of water ...

Mud is messy. For some, it's a plaything. To many, it can mean real hardship. Mud, though, is often overlooked, particularly ...

Today, the bulging of Earth’s oceans with the tides exerts a gravitational attraction that slowly accelerates the Moon, raising its orbit by 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) per year.

Swarm launched in 2013 and has been collecting information about Earth's magnetic field ever since. But clear signals created by ocean tides are difficult to obtain, because they are so faint they ...
