Using only two months of data, the GOCE gravity-tracking satellite has built the first-ever full map of Earth’s gravitational field.The map, called a geoid, reflects the bumps and valleys of Earth’s gravitational effects. The map shows what the Earth would look like if it was covered in an ocean dictated by gravity
