astrobiology.com media bias and reliability
astrobiology.com is held by the ratings provider we draw on, and no rater has placed it on the political spectrum. We have seen it on 7 published stories of ours.
The short answers
Is astrobiology.com biased?
astrobiology.com is held by the ratings provider we draw on, and no rater has placed it on the political spectrum. An outlet rating describes a broad pattern in its output, not every article it publishes.
Is astrobiology.com left or right?
astrobiology.com is held by the ratings provider we draw on, and no rater has placed it on the political spectrum.
Is astrobiology.com reliable?
We do not hold a factual-reliability assessment for astrobiology.com. A political-leaning label would not answer that question on its own, so we do not infer reliability from left, centre or right.

Our account of each story, written from every outlet that ran it, with astrobiology.com’s own report linked underneath.
A nearly two-pound meteorite discovered in Mali in 2022 has been identified as a 4.1-billion-year-old piece of Mars. Named Teghaza 001, it offers new insights into the Red Planet's early history and water cycle.

NASA's Perseverance rover has set a new record for the farthest distance driven on the surface of another planet, covering 45.22 kilometers (28.1 miles) on Mars. The mission has been extended until the end of 2028.

A giant cloud near Mars' Arsia Mons volcano forms daily through a process called homogeneous nucleation, where water vapor turns directly into ice. This method has never been observed in a planetary atmosphere before, challenging previous assumptions about cloud formation.

Researchers have demonstrated that certain microorganisms can survive in simulated conditions of Enceladus's subsurface ocean. The study, published in 'Science Advances', recreated the moon's ocean floor chemistry in a lab, using archaea that consume hydrogen and produce methane, suggesting Enceladus's geochemistry may be more favourable for life than previously thought.

For the first time, astronomers have detected radio signals directly from an exoplanet, Beta Pictoris b, located 63.4 light-years away. The signals, likely from the planet's aurora, suggest a powerful magnetic field, offering new insights into planetary environments beyond our solar system.

Astronomers have confirmed Elias 2-24 b as the youngest exoplanet discovered to date, with an age of less than one million years. The Jupiter-sized planet, located 450 light-years away, is still within its natal disk of dust and gas, prompting a re-evaluation of planet-formation models.

NASA's Roman Space Telescope has successfully launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. The observatory is designed to study dark matter, dark energy, and exoplanets, collecting vast amounts of data to deepen our understanding of the universe.

Who says so
No rating organisation we draw on has placed astrobiology.com. We asked on 12 October 2026.
How reliably it reports fact
A rating of the newsroom in general, by others, and a different thing from the Trust score we publish on each story, which judges one piece of reporting.
We hold no factual-reliability rating for this outlet.
Who owns it
We hold no ownership record for astrobiology.com.

What we have seen ourselves
Counted across the stories this site has published, which is the only denominator a reader can check: every one of them has a page, and every page lists the reports it was written from.

7 of those reports were paywalled or blocked to us. Our reading of this outlet is built on the 0 we could open, not on everything it published.
A blindspot is measured against one side of the spectrum. astrobiology.com has not been placed on the spectrum, so there is no side to count against and we publish no figure here.
Across the 7 stories of ours where at least three of the reports we listed carried a time, another outlet was always ahead of astrobiology.com: its report arrived a median of 29 hours after the earliest one we logged.
Measured 2 November 2026. Last seen in a coverage list 2 November 2026. Ratings pulled 12 October 2026.
Think this page is wrong?
The leanings above are published by AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check, and we republish them rather than make them. If you think one is misapplied, the strongest place to say so is with the organisation that made it, and every verdict here links to their page.
What we are responsible for is everything else: the ownership chain, where astrobiology.com publishes from, which of our stories we have listed it on, and whether we have the right publisher at all. Tell us what is wrong and an editor reads it.
Report something wrong on this page
Anything we correct is written up in the public corrections log. We do not publish reader votes as a rating, because an unattributed rating is the thing this site exists to argue against.
Every rating on this page is a named third party’s published work, republished with its author and, where one exists, a link to it. Our own coverage record is the section we measure ourselves. Neither is a judgement of any individual report: those are scored story by story, and the reasoning is on our methodology page.
