Astronomy is a science of the position, motion, origin and evolution of various celestial bodies or celestial bodies. This paper reviews the research hotspots, major progresses and significant events of astronomy in 2016. The contents include the first detection of gravitational waves, the brightest supernova discovered recently, planets, looking for "the ninth planet", and new astronomical instruments——FAST and DAMPE.
