Anyone who has ever measured something twice, like the width of a doorway, and gotten two different answers knows how annoying it can be. Now imagine you’re a physicist, and what you’re measuring ...

Gravity can be a really powerful influence in our universe, as the Hubble Space Telescope shows in its latest space photo. Amid a cluster of galaxies, Hubble spotted a phenomenon known as ...

Thanks to the presence of a natural "zoom lens" in space, University of Chicago scientists working with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have obtained a uniquely close-up look at the brightest ...
