Flattening Earth, short day and other reasons to study evolution of Earth's gravitational field
The Earth becomes more and more flattened, and it rotates so fast that the day becomes shorter. Will anomalies of artificial satellite movement help better understand the changes taking place in the oceans, glaciers, atmosphere, the Earth's crust and under the surface of the Earth?

Polish researchers search for gravitationally lensed glow of gamma-ray bursts
Gamma-ray bursts are among the most energetic processes in the Universe. For years they have been the focus of astrophysics. Scientists expect that lensing of gravitational signals from such events is possible. Researchers from the National Centre for Nuclear Research take part in the search for confirmation of these expectations.
