#LARES-2 satellite measures #FrameDragging effect around the Earth: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10715-0.epdf?sharing_token=5UJtuMvYhpyA8RgaPMjgNdRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0OHWdZogwXW73tv_Hs15j_K3s6tNd_znjKd-l4Jt-cbO2_I-7TaM9foUwJMbhm0RWXBDQUkx45UOLJZausMCxAuEEnKPloBelG0pNqxGmpuKsxznca2AqK_v0K9kZbvwJGZD0ZnAIfQ5YhEELFQHywcXPDTcx2lb3v2PKCAgd6qzGt7TsQ6eZjwXP1A-0AZc74%3D&tracking_referrer=arstechnica.com -> An orbiting disco ball gave Einstein’s theory its most precise test yet: https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/07/an-orbiting-disco-ball-gave-einsteins-theory-its-most-precise-test-yet/ - the Earth may not be that massive, but it still distorts space-time. (Astonishingly I had heard that same result when it was very fresh at a conference in Germany 14 (!) years ago and wrote about it: https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2012/10/11/eine-wolfram-kugel-im-orbit-bestatigt-frame-dragging-schon-auf-1-5-prozent-genau/ - has peer review of a #GeneralRelativity result ever taken *that* long?)
