Los Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 08, 2024

NASA-backed researchers have devised a novel approach to calculating how tidal forces influence the internal structures of planets and moons. Crucially, this research departs from the typical assumption of a perfectly spherical interior, instead examining how irregularly shaped bodies react to tidal stress. These internal distortions, known as body tides, result from gravitational interact
