He said: “Because the first solar eclipse comes so early in the year in 2019, that leaves enough time for a third solar eclipse to occur before the end of the year in 2019.
“Twelve 12 lunar months – 12 full moons – after this year’s first solar eclipse falls with the full moon, and lunar eclipse, of December 26, 2019.
“One fortnight , or one-half lunar month, following the year’s final eclipse on 2019 December 26 will bring about the first eclipse of 2020 on January 10, 2020.
“But since this eclipse will be a difficult-to-see penumbral eclipse of the moon, chances are that it’ll pass without any fanfare.”
