Quella del 2020 sarà un'edizione in linea con le misure che, in tutto il mondo, i governi hanno stabilito per contenere il contagio da Covid-19.
Quest'anno infatti, il 22 aprile, giorno in cui si celebra, a livello planetario, la 50^ Giornata della Terra delle Nazioni Unite, gli organizzatori hanno pensato ad una maratona multimediale: "una sorta di Villaggio per la Terra digitale dove ci incontreremo tutti".

The Sun is a star: it gives out light and heat essential for all forms of life; without this energy animals and plants can’t survive! Eight planets orbit around the Sun. The Solar system is enormous!
Pluto is very small and very cold. Jupiter and Saturn are very big, liquid and gas planets. Uranus has got rings of rocks. Neptune has got rings of fire. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are small, rocky planets.
