...standing on end in little bags - the chain has "wrapped its products in paper since 1948" - so the south end was a little soggy by the time I began to eat. But the taste was unaffected. There is a tang in the sauce (reminiscent of Big Mac sauce, except redder and more drippy), hard to describe but delightful. The buns were gently toasted, and the meat patties were thick for the genre. The large-cut lettuce -"hand-leafed every day" - was fresh, and the onions fresher. Maybe too much so; their flavor stood out a little too much. I preferred...

Hubble's scientific reputation was made almost overnight by his discovery that the universe is vast and the Milky Way insignificant. But he had already moved on to a new problem. For years, astronomers had noted that light from the nebulae was redder than it should be. The most likely cause of this so-called red shifting was motion away from the observer. (The same sort of thing happens with sound: a police car's siren seems to drop in pitch abruptly as the car races past a listener...
...sight for sore eyes. EYEDROPS that claim to get the red out may wind up making eyes even redder. Reason: drops work by constricting blood vessels, but as the medicine wears off, the vessels can react by dilating beyond their original size...
...such that a star is being pulled first toward and then away from the Earth, the motion will cause light waves coming from the star to be squeezed together, then stretched apart--making the light look first a little bit bluer than it really is, then a little bit redder, then bluer again, and so on. These subtle color changes--examples of the so-called Doppler shift--can be precisely measured, and the magnitude of the wobble pinned down, with a device called a spectrometer...
