Comets are rich in organic material that may have contributed to the rise of life on Earth.
“Comets are also rich in organic material that may have contributed to the rise of life on Earth (e.g., Delsemme, 2000; Altwegg et al., 2016; see Sections 3.1.1 and 6.1.3).”

“Comets are thought to have impacted early Earth, and it has been proposed that they may have delivered a significant volume of water (in the form of ice) and other volatiles to the planet (e.g., Laufer et al., 1999; Delsemme, 2000; Levison et al., 2001).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
