2020 events so far

Australian bushfires

Meanwhile, the year 2020 has seen its fair share of breaking news. It started with the Australian bushfires on January 2 which ravaged the south coast of the country. Cities were evacuated and almost one billion animals were estimated to have perished in the fires with a lot of species in need of "emergency intervention". 

The pandemic

The next major international event was the Coronavirus first being reported in China. It happened in January 11 which quickly began spreading around the globe with the first case in America recorded on January 20. Wuhan, China went under a lockdown being identified as the centre of the Coronavirus. Later, on February 11 WHO officially named the disease as COVID-19. On March 10, Italy became the first country to order a nation-wide lockdown and soon other countries followed suit. 

Earth's brush with an asteroid

Apart from this, the year has already seen some close encounters with asteroids. Earth nearly escaped being hit by an asteroid last month and now about five are expected to pass by our planet between June 5 and June 6. However, scientists have said there is no impending danger from them as they will most likely burn out in space.
