I'm starting three new lists--The top (ten) astronomical events to watch for in the next (1,10,100) year(s).

I think the first list should include next month's flyby of 2002 NY40, and the second list should include the Dec. 24, 2007 Mars next to the full moon, when the full moon will be highest in the northern hemisphere sky for nearly twenty years.

Any personal favorites you have to suggest?
2003, Voyager 1 encounters termination shock and enters heliosheath space. Termination shock is believed to be at about 85 + or - 5 AU. Voyager 1 is currently about 85 AU from the sun.
