Full Title:Cosmic 'Axis of Evil': Masses of Universe's Largest Objects Appear to Depend On Which Method Is Used to Weigh Them

Astronomers are puzzled by the announcement that the masses of the largest objects in the universe appear to depend on which method is used to weigh them. The new work was presented at a specialist discussion meeting on 'Scaling Relations of Galaxy Clusters' organised by the Astrophysics Research Institute (ARI) at Liverpool John Moores University and supported by the Royal Astronomical Society.
