Cognitive Concepts
Language Bias
The language used is objective and avoids loaded terms. Words like "spectacle" and "marvelous" could be considered slightly positive, but they are not overly effusive and are appropriate for the context. The use of 'Blutmond' (blood moon) is acknowledged but presented as a common term, not an editorial choice.
Bias by Omission
The article does mention the possibility of cloud cover affecting visibility, which is a crucial piece of information. However, it might benefit from including information about alternative ways to view the eclipse (e.g., online livestreams). Considering space constraints in a news brief, this omission is not severely problematic.
