Does the anomaly occur at other planets?

Where it stands

Three answers have been proposed. None is ahead on the evidence yet. Three are still possible.

Why it matters

An effect tied to Earth's rotation should have analogues at other rotating planets; searches are limited by how well other gravity fields are known⁠[1]⁠[2].

Juno's Jupiter perijoves show an analogous anomaly.
