For those of us that love to look toward the heaven’s, 2020 has been a great year.

The Farmer’s Almanac was right on the money when it forecast a dream year for stargazers.

We kicked off the year with the Moon passing between Earth and Mars.  Remember the lunar eclipse on the 4th of July?  WOW.

Now, for the first time in 19 years, something special is heading our way on Halloween. Yay!

  ISTANBUL, TURKEY - JANUARY 31: A Super Blue Blood Moon rises behind the Camlica Mosque on January 31, 2018 in Istanbul, Turkey. A Super Blue Blood Moon is the result of three lunar phenomena happening all at once: not only is it the second full moon in January, but the moon will also be close to its nearest point to Earth on its orbit, and be totally eclipsed by the Earth's shadow. The last time these events coincided was in 1866, 152 years ago. (Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images)
