Contradictions

30%

Examples:

  • The article contradicts itself by stating that Northern Lights may become visible in the early hours of Wednesday, while also mentioning that a full moon will peak at 6:17 a.m. on Sunday, July 21.

Deceptions

70%

Examples:

  • The article also deceptively states that a medium-size solar storm is forecasted to arrive in Maine skies Tuesday night and peak at around 2 a.m. Wednesday, while the Space Weather Prediction Center is forecasting strong auroras in the Northern Hemisphere today, July 19, and tomorrow, July 20.
  • The article deceptively states that 'Despite 2024 being the greatest years for New York to see the Northern Lights, CNY has struck out every time because of downright terrible weather.' This statement is misleading as it implies that the Northern Lights have never been seen in New York, when in fact they have been seen before.
