For centuries, humans have thought of time as a linear concept - but time dilation challenges that perception. Just as gravity pulls things down, time simply moves forward at a constant, unwavering ...

Time is a fickle thing. Depending on your frame of reference, it can appear to pass slower or quicker, thanks to a wonky phenomenon known as time dilation that was described in Albert Einstein's ...

Chinese researchers say they have created a new "lunar time ephemeris" that can calculate the time on the Moon and sync it with time on Earth. Currently, there is no agreed-upon time zone on the Moon.

Time moves differently in space. Near black holes, gravity slows clocks and stretches seconds. This explainer reveals how time bends and affects astronauts and Earth.

Time dilation is usually present in sci-fi movies especially if the main theme is all about cosmic encounters. While it sounds impossible in real life, astronomers said that it had happened in the ...

The researchers used measurements from the Moon's gravity to program a software package that can measure lunar time.

Tracking time is one of those things that seems easy, until you really start to get into the details of what time actually is. We define a second as 9,192,631,770 oscillations of a cesium atom.

I have a question regarding time dilation that I thought of last night listening to an audiobook, Project Hail Mary. I am an amateur astrophotographer, and marvel at the distance to deep-space objects ...
