A 22-degree halo in the CBS Photos Of The Day

Hello,

TAC is being too quiet this afternoon (or my email is down again).
So, how about some fun at the journalists' expense?

One of today's "Photos of the day" on the CBS site caught my eye.
In the two sentences accompanying the photo they managed to include
three factual errors and one unnecessary vague statement. This
must count as some kind of record. Take a look:

If the picture is not there (or if they fixed the errors), I took a
screenshot:
