We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Dark matter — The entry states dark matter is 'implied by gravitational effects that cannot be explained by general relativity unless more matter is present than can be observed.' This is misleading: dark matter is inferred from gravitational effects that cannot be explaine
Dark matter — The entry says Zwicky 'considered it non-luminous ordinary matter.' This is inaccurate: Zwicky proposed that the missing mass in galaxy clusters could be 'dunkle Materie' (dark matter), but he did not specifically conclude it was non-luminous ordinary matter;
Tabby's Star — The nickname 'WTF Star' comes from the discovery paper's subtitle 'where's the flux?' is incorrect; the paper's title was 'Where's the Flux?' and the nickname 'WTF' stands for 'Where's The Flux?' but is often jokingly expanded to other phrases, not directly fr
Tabby's Star — [hero audit] hero image does not depict the subject: MISMATCH The image depicts a star with a large, cracked planet and a swarm of asteroids, which is not Tabby’s Star (KIC 8462025). Tabby’s Star is a r
Dark energy — [contradicted] Type Ia supernovae have a consistent peak absolute magnitude after calibration :: The source states 'Type Ia supernovae have constant luminosity' and 'the most accurate known standard candles across cosmological distances because of their extrem
Dark energy — [contradicted] The cosmological constant was first proposed by Einstein as a mechanism for a static universe :: The source states 'The cosmological constant was first proposed by Einstein as a mechanism to obtain a solution to the gravitational field equation
Fast radio bursts — [contradicted] confirmed_source_type: Magnetars (at least one ultimate source) :: The source states that the exact origin remains under investigation and notes that magnetars are at least one ultimate source, but this phrasing is consistent with the source tex
Fast radio bursts — [contradicted] tagline: Transient radio bursts of unknown high-energy astrophysical origin. :: The source says "caused by a high-energy astrophysical process that is not yet understood" and later "the exact origin and cause of FRBs is still the subject of inve
Oumuamua — [contradicted] it is unusually elongated compared to most natural Solar System bodies :: the source says 'unusually more elongated than all but a few other natural bodies observed in the solar system' — i.e., it is compared to a few, not 'most'.
SETI — [contradicted] The field's legacy includes pioneering radio astronomy techniques and inspiring public engagement through projects like SETI@home :: The source does not state this; it is a subjective claim not contradicted.
SETI — [contradicted] SETI has also faced unwarranted skepticism from the public due to comparisons with conspiracy theory and UFO research :: The source states: 'it often gets compared to conspiracy theory, UFO research, bringing unwarranted skepticism from the publ
