I don't know if its the same in the US, but we see a dumbing down of news all the time here in the UK.

Earlier this week, one of the top 10 headlines on the BBC web site was; "TV star Dec misses England goal". Basically, this was a story about the fact that a very second rate, intellectually-challenged TV presenter had not seen England's goal in the World Cup due to a power cut in the area he was watching the match. IN WHAT UNIVERSE COULD THAT POSSIBLY BE CONSIDERED NEWSWORTHY?

Unfortunately, in the celebrity obssessed, lowest common denominator culture we find ourselves, stories like this could well be considered worthy of greater visibility than alerting readers/viewers to a potentially fascinating natural phenomenon.

fortunately most venues have an entertainment section and a science and technology section. thank goodness! which doesn't mean that Lindsey's lastest woes aren't splashed out there for all to see ( and hopefully ignore)

I've watched a few lunar eclipses, but they always scare me because I always fear the moon is being eaten by a dragon-god and wonder if earth will be next.

What I would really like to see is a full solar eclipse. The last time we had one in our area, I was on the other side of the planet and missed it.

wasn't there one in 1984? I was at Ft. Benning and I seem to remember a solar eclipse then

It was partial eclipse in our area.

There was a total solar eclipse in Tidewater on March 7, 1970. I was in Vietnam at the time.
