The ruler length and width measurements reflected the largest bias, regardless of wound shape [8]. The standard error of measurement (SEM) is defined as the difference between an observed score and a true score, so the SEM is an indication of the imprecision of a measurement technique [17].
Washington: Runaway planets zipping through space at mind-numbing speeds of 30 million miles per hour are now the fastest objects in the universe, says a study. Seven years ago, the discovery of the first runaway star, shooting out of our Galaxy at a staggering speed of 1.5 million mph, set astronomers on a course of exploration.
They discovered it in 1968: an object in the nebula's center -- Baade's prominent star -- that emitted bursts of radio waves 30 times per second. Called the Crab Pulsar, it is among the first pulsars discovered, and is the fastest and most energetic pulsar formed from a supernova explosion.
