Watch: Meteor shower seen in skies above UK
The annual Perseid meteor shower has been passing through the night sky across the UK and around the world over the past few nights. The bright meteors are formed when dust particles fall from the Swift-Tuttle comet and burn up on entering the Earth's atmosphere. Astronomers at Astro Dog, a small Scarborough-based astronomy company, captured the event from North York Moors National Park at its peak on 13 August. To maximise their chances of filming the glittering show, they used a camera with a "very sensitive sensor and a large aperture" which was pointed 45 degrees away from the "radiant point" - "where meteors appear to radiate from". There's still a chance to catch a glimpse or a video of the Perseids as they will be active until 24 August, according to Astro Dog

Highlight Colors Indicate Content Type & Quality:
Strong Reasoning - Clear logic & evidence
Moderate - Some structure, could improve
Weak Reasoning - Fallacies or poor logic
ℹ️ Not Evaluable - Questions, personal statements (not poor quality)
Note: Gray highlights with dashed borders (ℹ️) indicate content like questions or personal experiences that aren't meant to present logical arguments. Low scores on these don't mean poor quality!

About Truth Blocks

Truth blocks are minimal argument units that represent atomic reasoning. Each block is analyzed independently for:

  • Truth Score: Factual accuracy (0-1)
  • Reasoning Types: Deductive, inductive, etc.
  • Logical Fallacies: Detected reasoning errors
  • Confidence: AI certainty in analysis

The weighted score combines truth score with reasoning quality and fallacy penalties according to our scoring criteria.
