Sergey Popov Over the year, about 15 thousand articles appeared in the astrophysical part of the archive (arxiv.org). This, of course, is again a record, although an increase compared to 2019 and 2018 is very small. Nevertheless, there is something to choose from. The main topics of our annual review will be the results of the work of large projects, somewhat loud, but so far not completely understandable statements about discoveries, exoplanets and, of course, quick radio supports.
