Gravity Probe B satellite, artwork
Gravity Probe B satellite, computer artwork. The Earth (background) is shown warping a grid of space-time. The Gravity Probe B satellite is an experiment that was conducted by NASA and Stanford University to test some predictions of Einsteins theory of General Relativity. This theory presents gravity as a warping of space and time, and the Gravity Probe B used gyroscopes to try to detect both the Earths warping of space-time, and also the predicted drag on space-time caused by the rotation of the Earth. The satellite was launched in 2004, and the experiment finished in September 2005. The analysis of the results is expected to be completed some time in 2007

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Gravity Probe B satellite, depicted through stunning computer artwork. In the background, we witness the Earth warping a grid of space-time, illustrating one of the fundamental principles of Einstein's theory of General Relativity. The Gravity Probe B satellite was a groundbreaking experiment conducted jointly by NASA and Stanford University with the aim to test several predictions put forth by this revolutionary theory. General Relativity suggests that gravity is not simply a force but rather a distortion or warping of both space and time. To detect these phenomena, Gravity Probe B employed gyroscopes to measure both the Earth's warping effect on space-time and the anticipated drag caused by its rotation. Launched in 2004, this pioneering mission concluded in September 2005. The analysis of results from this ambitious endeavor was expected to be finalized around 2007. By delving into these findings, scientists hope to gain deeper insights into our understanding of gravity and its impact on celestial bodies within our universe. The image encapsulates humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge as we venture further into uncharted territories in astrophysics research during the 21st century. With Stanford University collaborating alongside NASA, it exemplifies how academia and scientific institutions work hand-in-hand to push boundaries and unravel mysteries that have perplexed us for centuries.
