The Daily's Verdict

This news site 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 its reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The bias in the articles is generally neutral. The only potential biases found were a slight positive bias towards NASA and its missions.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • There are no clear conflicts of interest found in the articles.

Contradictions

70%

Examples:

  • The article mentions that there is no current plan to develop a lunar time standard but also states that NASA has until the end of 2026 to set up Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC).
  • There are some contradictions in the information provided about NASA's plans for developing lunar time standard.

Deceptions

10%

Examples:

  • The article is generally truthful and does not appear to be intentionally misleading. The only potential deception was that NASA has until the end of 2026 to set up Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC) but it's unclear if this is accurate or a typo.

    NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 Resume Data Transmission After Technical Issues in Interstellar Space

    Broke On: Thursday, 13 June 2024 NASA's Voyager 1 and 2, the most distant spacecraft from Earth, have resumed sending valuable data about interstellar space after encountering technical issues. Both entered interstellar space in the late 1990s and collect information on plasma waves, magnetic fields, and particles. In November 2023, Voyager 1 experienced a computer problem preventing data return; engineers resolved it in May 2024, receiving engineering and science data from plasma waves and magnetometer instruments. Voyager 2 faced similar issues but recovered more quickly. Both now study interstellar space outside the heliosphere.
