They’re at it again! Not content with “atoms of light“, now we have a report on the moon-venus-jupiter conjunction on 1st Dec:
At the same time, the crescent Moon will eclipse Venus and, if you watch the Moon at sunset through binoculars, you will see an occultation of Venus by the Moon.
What? It’s not an eclipse! It’s an occulation! How can you manage to refer to the same event twice in the same sentence, make them appear like separate events, and then get the event description wrong one time out of the two?!?!?!!?

Got to agree with you on this Graeme, the TV and Press alike seem to make it up as they go along without referring to anyone who knows anything about the subject. I’ll take that back – they even refer to someone who knows about the subject and then still write a load of rubbish about it afterwards. They call this journalistic freedom. I have another name for it
