Aristotle incorrectly believed that objects fall at a constant rate of speed.
Observations of stars during eclipses support Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Gravity exists in space.
Objects in orbit revolve around a common center of mass.
Changing the direction of a moving object changes its velocity.
Universal gravitation describes the attraction between all objects with mass.
