The website reports on recent scientific discoveries, including the measurement of a dormant black hole's mass, evidence of a protoplanet from a meteorite, the end of NASA's MAVEN probe, and the creation of a universal vaccine by AI.
The claims regarding recent scientific discoveries are largely supported by evidence from credible sources. The measurement of a dormant black hole's mass using the James Webb Space Telescope, the evidence of a protoplanet from a meteorite, and the end of NASA's MAVEN probe are all corroborated by multiple reliable sources. The creation of a 'universal vaccine' designed by AI is also supported by evidence from reputable sources. However, the claim about the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's launch date is a prediction and cannot be verified at this time. Overall, the claims are factual with high confidence, except for the prediction which remains uncertain.

Science
Astronomers measured the mass of a dormant black hole 10 billion light-years away using the James Webb Space Telescope.
The claim is supported by evidence from Live Science, which reports that the James Webb Space Telescope detected a dormant black hole weighing as much as 6 billion suns, located more than 10 billion light-years away. This corroborates the claim that astronomers measured the mass of such a black hole using the JWST.
