Feb kicks off with "Hard Rock" SB...
Super Bowl LIV, the 54th Super Bowl and the 50th modern-era National Football League (NFL) championship game, will decide the league champion for the league's centennial 2019 season. The game is scheduled to be played on February 2, 2020 in Miami Gardens, Florida (with the exact date pending potential changes to the NFL calendar). This will be the 11th Super Bowl hosted by the South Florida region and the sixth Super Bowl hosted in Miami Gardens, with the last one being Super Bowl XLIVten years earlier. The game will be televised nationally by Fox.

2020 deep impact
Deep Impact targets possible 2020 asteroid flyby
Asteroid 163249 is pretty small, probably around 800 (plus or minus 400) meters across. That would make it the second-smallest minor planet to be visited by a spacecraft, between Itokawa and Hartley 2 in size -- but by the time Deep Impact gets to it, OSIRIS-REx will have visited a similar-sized one, 101955 (1999 RQ36) Deep Impact would approach the asteroid from its night side, seeing it at very high phase, which means the best science would happen on the way out, with the asteroid at lower phase of around 40 degrees. The encounter would happen while OSIRIS-REx is operating at asteroid 101955, a fun juxtaposition much like the dual comet encounters that happened with Hartley 2 and Tempel 1 two years ago. (163249): In 2011, NASA considered sending the unmanned spacecraft Deep Impact toward the asteroid with the aim of performing a flyby[2] in 2020.
Deep Impact sets path for asteroid encounter in 2020

Although Deep Impact is no longer active it is very fitting NASA proposed Deep Impact and Osiris REx conduct near earth asteroid missions at the same time!
2020
Hayabusa 2 is expected to arrive at the target in July 2018, survey the asteroid for a year and a half, depart in December 2019, and return to Earth in December 2020.[7]

- January: OSIRIS-REx completes planned Bennu observations and sampling
- Deep Impact in October 2012 would finish targeting asteroid 2002 GT, setting up for a high-speed flyby in January 2020
-The Early Return option would require OSIRIS-REx to make a much larger Asteroid Departure of 935m/s on January 3, 2020 as compared to a 328m/s burn for the 2021 departure. Returning a full year ahead of the baseline schedule would allow for sample analysis to begin one year earlier than currently planned.
COLLABORATION BETWEEN OSIRIS-REX AND HAYABUSA-2
Hayabusa, Osiris, ISIS, Deep Impact all were set to depart near earth asteroids to kick off 2020!
