It&#x27;s called error bars. Whenever physicists perform a measurement, they always derive a confidence interval from the instruments they use. They take great care of accounting for the limits of each individual instrument, perform error propagation and report the uncertainty of the final result. Consider figure 5 of the following article for example: https://arxiv.org/abs/1105.3470 The differently shaded ellipses represent different confidence levels. For the largest ellipsis, the probability of the true values being outside of it is less than 1%. We call that…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1105.3470/">Paper and discussion history</a>. A mention is not an endorsement.</p>astro-ph.CO
