...principle, maybe, but in practice there are dozens of factors that can confuse matters. For example, stars, including the sun, pulse rhythmically with waves generated deep in their interiors, making the surface bulge toward and sink away from the Earth just as though the whole star were wobbling. Stars can also have huge blotches--sunspots, in essence--that change the mix of colors as they rotate into and out of view. And spectrometers are subject to all sorts of errors that come from changes in temperature and electronic glitches. Thus, Marcy and Butler had to run their observations through...

Perhaps we could see tacos and burritos with lime-marinated chicken or came asada filling the space instead.

At night, convoys of army trucks trundle down the treacherous mountain slopes and haul out the insides of factories and military bases. The potential for new violence was underscored when two grenades and a mortar fired from...
