A recent Earth-moon flyby slowed JUICE enough to divert it toward Venus, where it will receive an important gravitational slingshot in 2025. The high-resolution science camera on the JUICE probe ...

A psychological thriller starring Casey Affleck and Laurence Fishburne, SLINGSHOT follows an elite trio of astronauts aboard a years-long, possibly compromised mission to Saturn’s moon Titan.

When approaching Earth, asteroids tend to do one of two things: Most of the time, they miss. Sometimes, they hit, leaving a ...

Gravitational waves that span thousands to billions of miles can be obscured in our detectors by the smallest of quantum fluctuations that permeate space-time. But now, researchers at the Laser ...

The leading idea is that gravity arises from the exchange of hypothetical "graviton" particles, much like electromagnetism ...

(Isn’t that always the way?) In order to reach their destination, they’ll have to pull of a “slingshot” maneuver utilizing Jupiter’s gravitational pull — and along the way, they’ll ...

An asteroid is approaching the Earth which the experts say will come close enough to be caught in our planet’s gravity well, ...

Astronauts journeying 1.5 billion miles to one of Saturn’s moons, Titan, will need a gravity assist – the “slingshot” in question – from Jupiter’s orbital velocity in order to make it ...

Their mission, in the short run, is to fly past Jupiter and use the planet's gravity to slingshot their way to Titan, one of Saturn's moons. They hope to scout the surface and eventually establish ...

“2001: A Space Odyssey” is the granddaddy and movies like “Gravity,” “Moon” and “Apollo 13” are its progeny. “Slingshot” isn’t of the same high quality, but if you’ve ever ...
