Gravity's impact on Earth revealed in brilliant colour

Scientists believe images from space could reveal important details about gravity's impact on Earth.  A European spacecraft has mapped the Earth's gravity with unrivalled precision - a feat that may ultimately help scientists predict earthquakes.  Scientists say the images will be crucial in measuring ocean circulation, sea-level change and ice dynamics - all driven by gravity - as the planet warms in response to climate change.   link
