Contradictions
79%
Examples:
- At least 5 people have died and 3 others have gone missing during the current climbing season on Mount Everest. The article contradicts itself by stating that no direct sunlight is present which causes weather permitting people along the path of totality to see Sun's corona.
- During a partial eclipse, the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth but does not completely cover it at first, resulting in the Sun appearing to have a crescent shape. This contradicts the statement that when totality occurs during a total solar eclipse, no direct sunlight is present.
- Two climbers, Daniel Paterson and Pas Tenji Sherpa, are believed dead after a cornice collapsed on Mount Everest. However, it is mentioned that Daniel Paterson and Pastenji Sherpa reached the summit of Mount Everest on Tuesday. This creates confusion as they cannot be both dead and at the summit at the same time.
Deceptions
65%
Examples:
- The most populated eclipse in the U.S., with 31.5 million people able to just walk outside of their homes and experience this event. This statement seems exaggerated as it is unlikely that all these people would be able to directly experience the eclipse.
- The Sun’s atmosphere During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely covers the Sun. This statement is misleading as it implies that the sun is always completely covered during a total solar eclipse, when in fact it only happens during specific moments.
- Wisps from the corona should be much more distinct than they were during the 2017 solar eclipse. This statement is misleading as it implies that the corona was not visible during the 2017 solar eclipse, when in fact it was.
