The Daily's Verdict

This author has a poor reputation for journalistic standards and is not considered a reliable news source.

Bias

95%

Examples:

  • The author has a slight bias towards reporting on scientific discoveries and phenomena.

Conflicts of Interest

10%

Deceptions

20%

Examples:

  • The author also mentioned that the sunspot has been less active since it gave us a G5 level storm a few weeks ago. This implies that the activity level of the sunspot is directly related to storm intensity, which might not be entirely true.
  • The author used misleading language to describe a celestial event: 'If there is to be a repeat of last month's incredible celestial performance, then, it'll almost certainly take place between next Tuesday and Thursday.' This statement could lead readers to believe that the event will definitely occur within that time frame, which may not be accurate.

Upcoming Solar Storm: Anticipated Auroras from Active Region 3697

Broke On: Friday, 31 May 2024 In late May 2024, powerful solar storms and auroras resulted from Active Region 3664, with Earth expected to face another approach from this active region in June. This interaction could lead to minor to moderate geomagnetic storming and auroral displays. The sunspot group produced X-class solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), causing auroras as far south as Jamaica, Mexico, India, South Africa, and Australia during its previous pass. The Space Weather Prediction Center closely monitors Active Region 3697 as it enters Earth's view again.
