Editorial Policy

The Cosmic Post does not republish complete articles.

Every article is an AI-generated summary based on publicly available scientific sources.

All articles are generated from trusted public scientific sources and always include a link to the original publication.

Readers are encouraged to visit the original publication for the full scientific details.

Artificial intelligence assists with summarization and explanation to make complex science more accessible — but scientific discoveries are faithfully reported and never altered or invented.

Our sources:

  • NASA News — News releases and mission updates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
  • NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) — A curated daily image of the universe with an explanation from a professional astronomer.
  • ESA Newsroom — Space news and science updates from the European Space Agency.
  • arXiv Astrophysics — Open-access preprints of scientific papers in astrophysics.

Image Credits

Images are credited to their original source whenever possible. NASA images are generally public domain, while other images remain the property of their respective owners.

Corrections

Although every effort is made to generate accurate summaries, mistakes may occasionally occur.

If you believe an article contains an error, please contact us.

If an error is confirmed, the article will be corrected or removed as soon as reasonably possible.

Scientific accuracy should always be verified against the original publication linked in every article.
