Post your 2020 Predictions here

Betelgeuse will not go supernova. I know because Scott Manley said so.

But I hope it does.

Or at least, the light from it reaches earth.

A supernova is the one astronomical feature I'm still waiting for, so I hope it gets here soon.

Peter Dutton will become Australian PM.

No chance.

Trump wins.
Morrison stays in power.
The EU tips into recession after the June quarter.
Charles assumes regency.
Putin laughs a lot.
 
I just heard from Neptune Orbitwatch! They agree with the other top Neptune orbit monitoring agencies like Neptuniac, Neptune's Orbit, Fly In Circles Ol' Neppy, and the other fifty leaders in the industry that Neptune's orbit is, at this very instant, exactly where we'd expect it to be. Thousands of dedicated Neptune orbiteers are carefully observing the situation and will spring into instant action should any deviation be detected.

But consider giving these hardworking organizations some help. A small donation from each of us can help fight the good fight and keep the watch steady! Contact your local government's Office of Neptune's Orbit to request a list of verified Neptune's orbit monitoring charities. With over 35,000 registered nonprofits worldwide dedicated solely to this vital task it has never been easier to give. And further---wait! Wait! OMG, they just detected a massive---

Nevermind, false alarm. Neptune's orbit continues as it was. There was a bug on the lens.
 
I predict that the Pope will be charged with attempted murder. He beat the hell out of that hand grabber woman. It was horrifying to watch.
 
If anyone's found Neptune's orbit, please return it to Neptune immediately. It was last seen in a McDonald's, ordering a 20-pack McNuggets but requesting no dipping sauces. This is alarming on many levels. Wheels within wheels, something sinister is afoot.
 
But that's just because they're so crafty.

Right, an elusive relict hominoid that evades human discovery, by doing things that aren't elusive...

Throwing rocks at people
Killing Chickens and Dogs
Peering in Trailer park windows
Stomping in the woods near enough to hear but not quite see.

Super elusive and crafty, right?
 
Here's a longshot, Lothian will finally lose his virginity.
 
Gold will reach $1,630 early 2020 (late Feb - early Mar), but will settle back to $1,570 by Dec.
 
Russia will hack the 2020 election in such an obvious manner that it will make it necessary to annul and repeat it, after election security can be established - which will take months.

Neptune orbital update: some cruel prankster has replaced Neptune with a store brand gas planet. Please return the original by Friday, it's needed to star in an off-Broadway experimental play in which the audience is collectively a single character that is part of the plot. It's not going to make a dime.
