That’s exactly what a study published today in Science Advances sought to do. The researchers exposed mice aboard the ISS to ...

Videos of astronauts on the Moon show them often bouncing across the lunar surface, helped by the fact that the gravity of our satellite is just one-sixth of Earth’s surface gra ...

While most people assume their height remains constant, science shows that due to gravity, humans can become 1–2 centimeters shorter by the end of the day. But in space, the effect is far more ...

Humans did not evolve for space. Ironically, because we insist on going there anyway, scientists now know from studying ...

Just a few days in simulated microgravity can subtly change the way women's blood clots, sparking bigger questions about health monitoring protocols for astronauts who can spend six months or more in ...

Crying in space sounds like a strange question until you realise how much of crying depends on gravity. On Earth, tears form and then quietly leave the face. Nobody thinks about that part. In orbit, ...
