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

85%

Examples:

  • The author seems to have a bias towards presenting the achievements of the Europe Euclid telescope and its discoveries in a positive light.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The author does not appear to have any conflicts of interest in this article. However, the source of the information is Barrons, which may be biased towards promoting scientific achievements and advancements.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • The article contains several contradictions regarding the effects of ice clouds on the telescope's performance and accuracy. For example, it states that heating the telescope will get rid of traces of water, but also mentions that a thin layer of ice accumulated on optical tools.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The author uses some deceptive practices to make the Europe Euclid telescope's observations seem more impressive than they are. For example, it omits the fact that recalibration of the telescope takes at least one month and that its orbit is not stable enough to avoid interference from other celestial bodies.

ESA's Euclid Space Telescope Faces Ice Accumulation Problem, Scientists Work to De-Ice from Million Miles Away

Broke On: Tuesday, 19 March 2024 The Euclid space telescope, launched in July 2021 by the European Space Agency (ESA), is currently experiencing a problem with ice accumulation on its mirrors and lenses. This has caused a small but progressive decrease in the amount of starlight that the telescope is capturing. Scientists are now working to de-ice Euclid from a million miles away by heating low-risk optical parts of the spacecraft, which will help keep it ice-free for its six-year life in orbit.
