His topic suggestion for the week centers around gravity!!!

I found this great article from NASA. That can help us all remember the different concepts around gravity. Later on in the week, I will post more in-depth articles. I figured this was a great refresher to start.

Did you know gravity is not the same and all parts of the earth? I didn’t remember that fact.

“However, gravity isn’t the same everywhere on Earth. Gravity is slightly stronger over places with more mass underground than over places with less mass. NASA uses two spacecraft to measure these variations in Earth’s gravity. These spacecraft are part of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission”
