2080s

The 2080s (pronounced "twenty-eighties") is a decade of the Gregorian calendar that will begin on January 1, 2080, and will end on December 31, 2089. Things included here are notable predictions by world organizations, figures of ideal goals set, and scheduled events as of the present year.[lower-alpha 1] As a caveat, there is no way for sure to predict any given event as up to date information frequently changes. There are ongoing futures studies that seek to understand what is likely to continue and what could plausibly change. Predictions for apocalyptic events and the second coming of Christ are discussed elsewhere.

Notable predictions and known events

2084
  • The lease held by the Pitjantjatjara people on Uluru to Australian government set to expire.

2088
  • October 27 - Mercury occults Jupiter for the first time since 1708, but very close to the Sun and impossible to view with the naked eye.[2]

2089
  • May–June – Insect Magicicada broods X (17-year) and XIX (13-year) will emerge simultaneously. This will be the first time this will occur since 1868; next time will be in 2310. This event occurs only once in every 221 years.[3]

Fictional events
  • 21st century in fiction
gollark: I'm pretty strongly biased against claims of "free energy" and stuff because if you could trivially produce vast quantities of energy through some magic thing, *it would be used everywhere*.
gollark: Also the ether, which as far as I'm aware was obsoleted a hundred years ago by better theories.
gollark: Well, "occult" and "free energy" are worrying keywords.
gollark: I may just read strange fiction, but it seems to be stranger than reality in many ways. Strangeness is relative, I suppose.
gollark: No, I mean it doesn't help with making it sound sane.
