Astronomy 2019: The events to come
The total solar eclipse of Chile / Argentina will be the great event of the year. Also the transit of Mercury. IAU celebrates 100 years. China, India and Israel, to the Moon.Eclipses of Sun
January 6th: Partial eclipse, visible in Asia and the Pacific.July 2: Total eclipse, visible in Chile and Argentina.
The best of the eclipse, its maximum point, will occur with the Sun over the South Pacific. The inhabitants and tourists in Chile and Argentina will be able to observe the last part of the eclipse, near 21:00 UTC, 18:00 local time. The magnitude will be 1,046. The magnitude is the fraction of the diameter of the Sun obscured by the Moon. In total eclipses the magnitude will be greater than or equal to 1. To compare, the eclipse that was seen in the United States in 2017 had a similar magnitude.
December 26: Annular eclipse visible from Asia and Oceania.Eclipses of Luna
January 20-21: Total eclipse, visible from all America, while in Europe and Asia it will be partially seen. The best will be seen around 5:00 UTC, 2:00 local time. Magnitude: 1,195.
July 16th: Partial. The whole phenomenon will be seen in Africa and part of Europe. In South America the final part will be seen, when the Moon sets, at around 20:00 UTC. Magnitude: 0.653.
Transit of Mercury
On November 11, at 15:20 UTC, the planet closest to the Sun will travel through the star with a separation of only 76. According to Fred Espenak's calculations, the Sun from Buenos Aires will have an altitude of 72º in the maximum, 12:20 local time.There will be no other transit of Mercury until 2032.
Venus, which was seen transiting in 2012, will not travel again until 2117.Source: NASA Eclipse, by Fred Espenak, NASA / GSFC.

SPACE MISSIONS
New Horizons
On January 1, New Horizons is expected to fly over the object of the 2014 Kuiper Belt MU69.ISRO Chandrayaan-2
At the end of January, the India Chandrayaan-2 probe will be launched. It has an orbiter and a descent module to reach the Moon and conduct topography and mineral studies.

SAOCOM
SAOCOM 1B will be launched: The main objective of the SAOCOM Earth Observation satellites is the measurement of soil moisture and applications in emergencies, such as the detection of spills of hydrocarbons in the sea and monitoring of water coverage during floods. It is a project developed in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and integrates operationally, together with the Italian satellites COSMO-SkyMed, the SIASGE (Italo-Argentine System of Satellites for Emergency Management).SAOCOM at CONAE
