The year 2010 starts on a Friday according to the Gregorian Calendar. It is the first year of the 2010 decade.
The year 2010 has been proclaimed as the International Year of Biodiversity by the United Nations. All through the year, efforts would be made to promote the biodiversity of our world on a larger scale. Countries, organizations and companies would participate to promote and reduce loss of biodiversity worldwide.
Year 2010 would be an eventful year as far as Astronomical events are concerned.The most striking feature of the year 2010 is the translation that Jupiter makes from Neptune to Uranus. Janaury 15 shall witness an annular solar eclipse. It would be the longest annular eclipse in the 21st century. On Janaury 29th, 2010, Mars shall be in opposition to Earth. July 11, 2010 shall see a total solar eclipse visible in the South Pacific areas.
On February 14th, 2010 the New Chinese year of Tiger comes in. It is a Wood Tiger in a Metal year.Hence it is not going to be a good year.
