Contradictions
90%
Examples:
- Despite this, the researchers say there is no explicit evidence that the animal was killed by the humans.
- If it's a black hole, it may be among the lightest known which could affect understanding of supernova explosions or dynamical interactions such as neutron star mergers inside globular clusters.
- Leeches jump as a sort of leap of faith towards their hosts.
- Leeches jump in pursuit of blood.
Deceptions
86%
Examples:
- The article quotes William Reyes stating that they found limited material of Garzapelta which contradicts his statement in a university release where he states that they have elements from the back of the neck and shoulder region all the way to the tip of its tail.
- The author uses emotional manipulation by describing Garzapelta as 'cute' despite its intimidating appearance due to its armor plating and clubbed tail.
- The title implies that Garzapelta was a friendly creature when it was actually an ancient reptile with sharp teeth and spikes for protection.

Newly Discovered: The Jumping Ability of Madagascar's Chtonobdella Leeches
Broke On: Tuesday, 20 June 2017Researchers confirm leeches in the Chtonobdella genus can jump, observed by Ibn Battuta and modern scientists. They anchor their rear sucker, coil back, and launch forward like a striking cobra or spring. This behavior offers new insights into their behavior and ecology. 
Discovering the First Merging Quasars During Cosmic Dawn: A Groundbreaking Observation of Galactic Cores 900 Million Years After the Big Bang
Broke On: Monday, 17 June 2024Scientists have discovered the first confirmed pair of merging quasars during the Cosmic Dawn, just 900 million years after the Big Bang. Each roughly 100 million times heavier than the Sun, these galactic cores are undergoing a mega merger, with gas and dust falling into central supermassive black holes and emitting massive amounts of light. The findings offer insights into early universe formation and quasar host galaxy evolution during Cosmic Dawn. 
First-Ever Measurement of a Supermassive Black Hole's Spin: A Groundbreaking Discovery in Astronomy
Broke On: Wednesday, 22 May 2024Astronomers, led by MIT researchers, measured the spin of a supermassive black hole for the first time using data from tidal disruption events. The findings revealed that both black holes had spins less than 25% of the speed of light. 
MIT Discovers Three Oldest Stars in the Universe in Milky Way's Halo
Broke On: Tuesday, 14 May 2024MIT researchers discovered three of the oldest stars in the universe, located in our galactic neighborhood. Formed between 12 and 13 billion years ago, these 'SASS' stars once belonged to primitive galaxies absorbed by the Milky Way. Understanding their orbital patterns could reveal insights into galaxy formation. 
New Study Suggests Strike-Slip Motion Regulates Enceladus' Jets, Challenging Previous Understanding of Tiger Stripes
Broke On: Wednesday, 01 May 2024A new study published in Nature Geoscience proposes that strike-slip motion, similar to the San Andreas Fault, regulates Enceladus' jets of icy material. This challenges the previous understanding of tiger stripes opening and closing to allow escapes from Enceladus' global subsurface ocean, which spans over 30 miles deep and contains essential ingredients for life. 
Io's Volcanic History: A Billion-Year Long Eruption on Jupiter's Moon
Broke On: Thursday, 18 April 2024Jupiter's moon Io, the most volcanically active body in our solar system, has a long and ongoing history of eruptions since its formation over 4.5 billion years ago. With over 400 known volcanoes, Io resurfaces itself every million years and releases sulfur dioxide gas during eruptions, creating an orange glow around the moon. New discoveries suggest that Io has lost up to 99% of its original sulfur reservoir, indicating a continuous geologic activity that challenges previous theories. NASA's Juno spacecraft provides valuable data on Io and its impact on Jupiter's atmosphere. 
The Rise of Aetosaur Ancestors: Exploring the Triassic Period Before Dinosaurs
Broke On: Tuesday, 19 March 2024The Triassic period, lasting from 250 million years ago to 65 million years ago, was a time of great change on Earth. During this time the planet experienced significant geological and biological shifts that ultimately led to the rise of dinosaurs. However before they ruled supreme over land animals there were other creatures such as aetosaur ancestors of modern crocodiles. 
ESA Approves New Mission to Search for Gravitational Waves from Space: LISA Project
Broke On: Wednesday, 31 January 2024The European Space Agency has approved a new mission, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), to search for gravitational waves from space. LISA will consist of three spacecraft in an equilateral triangle configuration and measure slight distortions caused by gravitational waves. The observatory is set to capture predicted gravitational ringing from the initial moments of our Universe, offering a direct glimpse into very first seconds after Big Bang. 
Astronomers Discover Mystery Object in Milky Way More Massive Than Any Known Neutron Star But Lighter Than Smallest Black Hole
Broke On: Friday, 19 January 2024Astronomers have discovered a mystery object in the Milky Way that is more massive than any known neutron star but lighter than the smallest black hole. This dense stellar remnant orbits a rapidly spinning neutron star located around 40,000 light-years away within a globular cluster in the Milky Way. If it's a black hole, this would make it an incredibly coveted radio pulsar-black hole binary system that could help scientists better determine where to draw the dividing line between neutron stars and black holes. A pulsar-black hole system with highly periodic outbursts of the pulsar can be crucial for testing theories of gravity. 
The Connection Between Woolly Mammoths and Early Human Settlements in Alaska: A Journey with Elma the Female Mammoth
