. The loudest astronomical headlines of the year came from both very near (planets orbiting stars in the solar neighborhood) and very far (galaxies and parts of galaxies at redshifts of 1 to 3 and more).

This year's astronomical headlines included planets orbiting stars, galaxies at redshifts, and more.
