2020 Astronomical Events & Alignments
OCTOBER 2020
OCTOBER 1 - FULL MOON
The full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox is known as the Harvest Moon. Moon will be exactly aligned across from the sun on Thursday afternoon, Oct. 1, 2020, at 5:05 p.m. EDT. The Moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from Wednesday morning through Saturday morning.
Friday October 2 into Saturday October 3 we have two alignments to work with:
OCTOBER 2/3 - REGULUS CONJUNCTS VENUS
On Friday. October 2 at 3:30 am EDT, Regulus and Venus rise together. Great predawn viewing of this conjunction the. morning of October 2. They set at 4:44 pm EDT that same day (but likely not visible as daylight is still strong at that time).
OCTOBER 2/3 - MARS CONJUNCTS MOON
October 2 at 11:25 pm EDT Mars makes an exact conjunction with the Moon.
They rise together on the eastern horizon at 7:15 pm. In the predawn sky they will be quite spectacular as they sink to set on the western horizon. After 4:30 am on the morning of October 3, a clear sky span will show these two conjunctions across from one another.

MARCH 2020
MARCH 7 - VENUS PASSES URANUS
Venus passes Uranus. Use a binocular to locate the dimmer planet.
Venus closes in on the planet Uranus. On March 7, Venus is 2.2° to the right of Uranus. The planet is brighter than Neptune, which Venus passed in January. In a dark sky, Uranus is visible in a dark sky to those with good eyesight. Use a binocular to see it easier.
MARCH 8 - SUN CONJUNCTS NEPTUNE
The Sun and Neptune move slowly in respect to each other, this alignment has been building for a while now. It culminates today. Neptune and Sun together increase your capacity for telepathic communication. Behind which veils do you wish to see? In which dimension do you chose to view?
MARCH 9 - FULL MOON, SUPERMOON
The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be will be fully illuminated. This phase occurs at 17:48 UTC (12:48 EST or 12:48 pm Eastern). This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Full Worm Moon because this was the time of year when the ground would begin to soften and the earthworms would reappear. This moon has also been known as the Full Crow Moon, the Full Crust Moon, the Full Sap Moon, and the Lenten Moon. This is also the second of four supermoons for 2020. The Moon will be at its closest approach to the Earth and may look slightly larger and brighter than usual.
MARCH 19/20 - MARCH EQUINOX
The March equinox occurs at 03:50 UTC (11:50 EST March 19 or 11:50 pm Eastern). The Sun will shine directly on the equator and there will be nearly equal amounts of day and night throughout the world. This is also the first day of spring (vernal equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of fall (autumnal equinox) in the Southern Hemisphere.
MARCH 24 - VENUS HIGHEST POINT ABOVE HORIZON IN SKY
The planet Venus reaches greatest eastern elongation of 46.1 degrees from the Sun. This is the best time to view Venus since it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the evening sky. Look for the bright planet in the western sky after sunset.
MARCH 30 - APRIL 7 Venus in Taurus: A Spectacular Pleiades Conjunction
In late March, Venus moves into Taurus, heading for a conjunction with the Pleiades. During April, Venus moves between the Pleiades and Hyades and toward Elnath (Beta Tauri, m = 1.6), the Bull’s northern horn. As Venus approaches the star, it begins a rapid descent toward the western horizon, toward its early June inferior conjunction.
On March 30, Venus moves into Taurus, 3.6° to the lower right of Alcyone, the brightest star in the Pleiades star cluster. The next evening, March 31, at the end of evening twilight, Venus, over 25° up in the west, is 2.7° to the lower right of Alcyone.
As April opens Venus is in the west near the Pleiades. On April 3, one hour after sunset, Venus, 30° up in the west, is 0.3° to the lower left of Alcyone. This is the closest Venus gets to the Pleiades on this evening appearance.
On the next evening, April 4, on this evening and for the next few evenings Venus and Sirius are at nearly the same altitude in the west at about 9 p.m. CDT in Chicago, a few minutes after the end of evening twilight (about 105 minutes after sunset). While Venus and Sirius are too far apart for technical comparisons of their brightness difference, the brightest star and the brightest planet are the same altitude in the western sky. Sirius, Orion’s belt, Aldebaran, and Venus are nearly in a line across the western horizon. The Venus – Alcyone gap, 0.9°. Gaps as Venus moves eastward along the ecliptic and away from the Pleiades: April 5, 1.8°; April 6, 2.7°; April 7, 3.5°; April 8, 4.6°; April 9, 5.2°.

JANUARY 2020
The celestial year starts off strong, on the heels of very strong powerful end of 2019 - most significantly the alignments of the planets, sun, earth and moon. Some events and alignments to focus on for the beginning of 2020 are:
JANUARY 4/5 - EARTH PERIHELION - Earth at closest point to the SUN
https://www.innerspacehealing.org/blog/earth-perihelion
JANUARY 10 - FULL MOON
The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be will be fully illuminated. This phase occurs at 19:23 UTC (14:23 EST or 2:23 pm Eastern). This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Full Wolf Moon because this was the time of year when hungry wolf packs howled outside their camps. This moon has also been know as the Old Moon and the Moon After Yule.
JANUARY 10 - Penumbral LUNAR ECLIPSE
A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the Earth's partial shadow, or penumbra. During this type of eclipse the Moon will darken slightly but not completely. The eclipse will be visible throughout most of Europe, Africa, Asia, the Indian Ocean, and Western Australia. (NASA Map and Eclipse Information)

This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.
JANUARY 27 - VENUS WITH NEPTUNE AND THE MOON
The moon appears near the star Phi Aquarii and the planet Neptune. A small telescope or binocular is needed to see Neptune that appears as a bluish “star.”
