Don't miss the 7 best space events in 2018

Current science is modern enough to predict what will happen in the Universe. And here are 7 extremely interesting astronomical and astronomical events in 2018.

Life on Earth is always going on as it used to be, with the chaos, fatigue of housework and bills to be paid on time. But in the sky, wonderful things are happening continuously, look up high into the new year to welcome the fun!

first.

Next year, we will not have a total solar eclipse but there will be three partial and eclipse eclipses. These events will be able to be observed in many parts of the world.

Eclipse.

1. January 31: Full lunar eclipse in Australia, North America, East Asia and the Pacific
2. February 15: A solar eclipse is seen in part of Antarctica, Chile and Argentina
3. July 13: Partial eclipse of Antarctica and Cape Australia.
4. July 27: Total lunar eclipse is visible in most of Europe, Africa, West and Central Asia, Western Australia
5. August 11: Total solar eclipse occurs in Northeast Canada, Greenland, Northern Europe and East Asia

2.

Every year there are always meteor showers, and if you take a camera this time, you can take great photos.

The two most beautiful meteor showers will take place in Perseids on August 12-13 with 60 meteors every hour; and Geminids on December 13-14 with 120 meteors every hour.

3.

In April this year, a project called the Event Horizon Telescope launched to capture the event horizon of a black hole. This is an unprecedented effort to discover the mystery of black holes. The Black Hole event horizon is not the black hole itself, but the part that draws everything in it, with such a force that nothing escapes from it, including light.

Specifically, we are also waiting for photos of the Sagittarius A * Black Hole - a black hole in the center of the Milky Way. Hopefully, with the 5-day effort to continuously observe, we will reap the images of humanity who have never witnessed.

We are about to capture the event horizon of the black hole Sagittarius A *.

4. Explore the Moon

People are planning to return to the Moon! The last person to set foot on its surface was NASA astronaut Eugene Cernan at the time of 1972. And next year, we are planning to visit the Moon again.

For the first time in the history of the country, India intends to launch a moving machine to the Moon in 2018. SpaceX is also on the move with its round-the-moon journey carrying two people on it. Chang'e 4 and Chang'e 5 of China will conduct a dark side survey of the Moon and bring back the specimens here.

There are also rumors that the US will bring people back to the Moon next year. And don't forget the Lunar Xprize competition to bring Google's robot to the Moon.

5. The exploration ship landed on a meteorite

Are you interested in the event that Rosetta and Philae meet comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko? If so, 2018 ensures you will be even more excited. Not only one but two asteroids will land on our probe next year.

In June, JAXA's Hayabusa 2 vessel kicked off in 2014, will meet a near-Earth asteroid named Ryugu. In August, NASA will "face" with the asteroid Bennu near Earth.

Surely these will be spectacular scenes to enjoy. And the specimens of asteroids will be brought to Earth by Hayabusa and OSIRIS-REx, respectively by 2020 and 2023.

6. Brilliant fireworks from a hidden crystal

A star is a star we can't see with the naked eye, we can only detect it with radio waves.

It is impossible to predict the exact time, but it is possible that early next year a planet will fly very close to one of the brightest stars in our galaxy. When this happens, there will be an impressive explosion of astronomical fireworks and scientists can measure the mass, gravity, magnetic field, stellar wind and the characteristics of the star disk.

7.

Cassini has finished its mission this year, Juno ships are exploring Jupiter so we need more exploration ships to explore other planets. And in 2018, ESA and JAXA will carry out their common mission - to create the BepiColombo vessel to explore Mercury - the closest planet in our solar system.

Although this ship will not be launched on Mercury until 2015, but we still have a lot to expect from them next year!
