THE 2020 is announced as the year of the shooting stars: it will be easier to admire the swarms of meteors darting across the sky, because the light of the moon will not disturb the show, and, contrary to what happens in 2019, will leave that to dominate the scene are the light trails of the shooting stars. After two years, Mars prepares to return to the limelight, more bright than ever, more discrete than the Moon, for the year 2020, prepares for the eclipses of the shadows, while the Sun will provide an annular eclipse and a total.

To greet the 2020 is in January, the swarm of the Quadrantids. “The peak is expected in the night between the 3 and 4 January,” reports the astrophysicist Gianluca Masi , head of the Virtual Telescope. At the dawn of 4 January, he continued, there will be conditions. It is not among the swarms more spectacular, but never disappointing”.
