Is Earth HEAVIER than we think due to a halo of dark matter? | Mail Online
Now, data from a number of GPS satellites suggest that a halo of the strange matter may be surrounding Earth, causing our planet to be heavier than first believed. From his calculations, Professor Ben Harris from Texas University claims this halo could affect the Earth's gravity and that the planet could be 0.005 and 0.008 per cent heavier than the mass established by the International Astronomical Union.
