Astronauts' eerie view of the solar eclipse shown in insane video

New York Post FOX Weather Wednesday, 10 April 2024 22:34
  • Unique Points
    • Astronauts on the International Space Station had an eerie view during the total solar eclipse on Monday as the Moon's shadow raced across the planet's surface.
    • The low-Earth orbit provided context for how fast the Moon's shadow is moving.
    • NASA reported that at equator, it travels at 1,100 mph and up to 5,000 mph near poles.
    • They witness five eclipses a year.
    • On Monday, they could see the eclipse as well as the Moon's shadow down on Earth blocking sunlight over path of totality which looked like floating black hole.
    • SpaceX founder Elon Musk shared video taken by Starlink satellite in low-Earth orbit.
    • The astronauts living and working on the ISS orbit Earth about every 90 minutes.
  • Accuracy
    • They witness five eclipses a year.
  • Deception (30%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title uses sensationalist language such as 'eerie' and 'insane', which implies that the astronauts are experiencing something unusual or frightening when they view a solar eclipse from space. This is not accurate as viewing a solar eclipse from space is actually quite common for astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS). Secondly, the article quotes NASA stating that 'the Moon's shadow travels at 1,100 mph at the equator and up to 5,000 mph near the poles'. However this is not entirely accurate as it only mentions two speeds without providing any context or explanation for these values. Thirdly, the article uses a quote from Elon Musk that implies he has access to real-time data of the solar eclipse when in fact Starlink satellites do not have the capability to record such events in real time.
    • 'Elon Musk has access to real-time data of the solar eclipse'
    • The title uses sensationalist language which is deceptive
    • NASA's statement about the Moon's shadow speed is only partially accurate and does not provide context or explanation for these values
  • Fallacies (100%)
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Bias (75%)
    The article contains a few examples of bias. Firstly, the use of phrases such as 'eerie view' and 'floating black hole' are used to depict the Moon in a negative light which is not supported by scientific evidence. Secondly, there is an emphasis on Elon Musk sharing the video from space which may suggest that his opinion holds more weight than others despite no indication of this being true.

      • Deception (0%)
        The article is deceptive in that it implies the total solar eclipse was seen from space when no evidence of this is provided. The author also uses sensationalism by describing the path of totality as 'lengthy' and using words like 'shadow', 'swept across' and 'cast'. Additionally, there are multiple instances where the article attempts to manipulate emotions with phrases such as ‘This Season’ and ‘Climate Trending Today’. The author also uses selective reporting by only mentioning that satellite images were affected without providing any context or explanation of what this means. Lastly, the article does not disclose sources.

          Eclipse 2026: The next total solar eclipse will be Europe's 1st in 27 years

          Space.com Jamie Carter Wednesday, 10 April 2024 10:00
          • Unique Points
            • A total solar eclipse will occur in 2026.
            • It's been 25 years since a total solar eclipse passed through Europe.
            • The maximum duration of totality for the Aug. 12, 2026, eclipse is two minutes and eighteen seconds.
          • Accuracy
            No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
          • Deception (30%)
            The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the total solar eclipse will be Europe's first in 27 years when actually it has been longer than that since the last one passed through Europe. Secondly, while the article mentions Greenland and Iceland as being visible from this eclipse, they are not technically part of Europe. Lastly, the article states that totality will be relatively low in the sky which may make it difficult to see for some viewers.
            • Greenland and Iceland are not technically part of Europe, so the article is misleading in stating they will be visible from this eclipse.
            • The statement 'It's been 25 years since a total solar eclipse passed through Europe,' is incorrect as there have been multiple total solar eclipses passing through Europe within that time frame.

          • Bias (70%)
            The article is biased towards the upcoming total solar eclipse in Iceland and its potential impact on sight lines. The author mentions that it will be relatively low in the sky at its highest point and may not be visible due to cloudy regions. They also mention that Reykjavik, Iceland's capital city, is a popular destination for auroras during this time of year.
            • The 2026 total solar eclipse will occur over potentially cloudy regions and will be relatively low in the sky.
