Sure, but that’s the BBC. Surely there’s enough news in the entirety of the UK that they don’t need to resort to astronomical phenomena that are both meaningless and invisible without measuring tools. Hell, tell me what part of the sky the planets will be - at least I can see those.
There’s tons of meaningless astronomical phenomena that you can actually go out and see, though. “Jupiter and Saturn will be close together in the western sky just after sundown,” for instance. They could even have a star chart showing the constellations so you can identify them yourself. Easy to turn into a one-minute blurb.
