Claim 3: “Astronomers discover the 1st black hole powered 'microquasar' in the Milky Way”
DISPUTED
The claim states astronomers discovered the '1st' black hole powered microquasar in the Milky Way. However, Wikipedia evidence explicitly states that SS 433 became the first microquasar to be discovered in our own galaxy in 1979, and GRS 1915+105 was confirmed in 1994. Additionally, one search result clarifies that the recent discovery was the first 'microblazar', not the first microquasar.
