JANUARY 2: Earth at perihelion, Isaac Asimov Birthday.
On 2nd January 2021, the Earth will be at the perihelion.
What does it mean?
Perihelion is the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid or comet at which it is closest to the sun.
JANUARY 4: Quadrantids meteor shower, Isaac Newton's Birthday
One of the best annual meteor showers, peaking at up to 120 meteors per hour.
The Quadrantids are usually active between the end of December and the second week of January, and peak around January 3-4
JANUARY 10: Triple Conjunction, Frank Sinatra's birthday
Some days ago we had the opportunity to see the Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction in the sky.
JANUARY 24: Saturn at solar conjunction
A “Solar conjunction” occurs when a planet or other solar system object is on the opposite side of the Sun from the Earth. From an Earth reference, the Sun will pass between the Earth and the object. Communication with any spacecraft in solar conjunction will be severely limited due to the Sun's interference on radio transmissions from the spacecraft.
January 29: Jupiter at solar conjunction
After Saturn, also Jupiter will pass close to the Sun and will be unobservable for weeks to come.
February: NOTHING RELEVANT, maybe we could just mention the alpha-Centaurid meteor shower on February, 8th, 2021.
MARCH 20: Spring Equinox, Buzz Aldrin's Birthday
The World “EQUINOX”, comes from Medieval Latin equinoxium, for Latin aequinoctium “the time of equal days and nights”.
MARCH 28: First SuperMoon
The first supermoon of 2021.
The moon will appear slightly bigger and brighter than average.
