I could recognize several varieties of pine and willow, but the low gravity had distorted their runaway growth, giving them peculiar swollen trunks and fat leaves.

Spiral arms are home not only to larger numbers of molecular clouds, whose gravity may distort the Oort cloud, but also to higher concentrations of bright blue giant stars, which live for relatively short periods and then explode violently as supernovae.

On a world that large, gravity would distort space.

The gravity well distorts everything.

Like maybe the vicinity of a black hole in space, where intense gravity distorts space itself.

Any closer and the sun's gravity would distort the Zin Field, endangering the ship.

It will only work in space; but in orbit, gravity will not distort the mirror's shape into a paraboloid.

Relativity theory describes how the gravity of everything from subatomic particles to massive stars distorts and curves the four dimensions of space-time, like coconuts rolling on a rubber sheet.

Just as gravity, they say, can distort space and time, so power changes the character and physiology of those who come within its orbit.

When dark matter lies in front of galaxies, it can't be seen, but its gravity distorts the light from the galaxies behind it.
