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.
