The (amateur) astronomy pictures of the year have been announced:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-66807814

The most stunning is the very deep M31 image showing a gas plasma cloud 
in the same field which it seems from the blurb has not been noticed 
until now!

Mars setting behind the moon and the sprites are my other favourites.

The other stunning image is of a comet disconnection event:
