The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

86%

Examples:

  • The discovery is always exciting. It fuels our sense of wonder about other planets and the possibility that some may harbour other life.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

No current examples available.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • The habitable zone around a red dwarf like TOI-715 is much larger than what has been traditionally considered as such due to its lower luminosity and smaller size compared to our Sun.

Deceptions

62%

Examples:

  • The artist depiction of the planet does not accurately represent its true appearance or characteristics.
  • TOI-715b is inside the star's habitable zone when it isn't according to scientific standards.

NASA Discovers New Super-Earth TOI-715 b: A Red Dwarf Star Target for Habitable Worlds Search

Broke On: Monday, 05 February 2024 NASA discovers a new super-earth, TOI-715 b, located 137 light years away. The planet is approximately one and a half times the width of Earth and orbits within the conservative habitable zone around its parent star. Red dwarf stars have emerged as prime targets in the search for habitable worlds due to their smaller size and cooler nature allowing planets to orbit closer while still remaining within the habitable zone.
