Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery on November 8, 2025, that challenges previous models of planetary water formation. They have uncovered how certain exoplanets generate their own oceans ...

There is a “gravity hole” in the Indian Ocean — a spot where Earth’s gravitational pull is weaker, its mass is lower than normal, and the sea level dips by over 328 feet (100 meters). This anomaly has ...

That’s also true for the other moons that provide the gravitational stress. As a result, the internal oceans may actually ...
