Contest: ENTER Misc Avatar Contest: 2016: The Year That Was

[Avro Arrow]

So, some stuff happened this year. Lots of stuff, actually. Terrorist attacks, new scientific discoveries, a plethora of celebrity deaths, a pretty crazy US election cycle... 2016 has seen a lot. So for this contest, your entry should represent something that happened in 2016.

Maximum size should be 200 x 200 pixels, and 1 MB if animated. The contest will be open for approximately one week. For media sources, news programs are OK.

Many thanks to @It's Christmastime Again - Kai "the spy" for the idea (and for saving me the effort of coming up with one!)

Have fun!

(ETA: Oops, forgot to put "Misc Avatar Contest" in the thread title. I've submitted a request for a mod to edit it. Sorry for any confusion.)

Hmm. I'll try to come up with something that isn't depressing.

Here we go:

The discovery of a potentially Earthlike planet orbiting Proxima Centauri. A planet slightly more massive than ours orbiting a red star. Let's call it Krypton.

- Juno arrives at Jupiter

Since we only have six entries, I think I'll leave this open for a couple more days to see if anyone else would like to join in. (Plus I guess that takes us to the 31st, just in case any of you are waiting until the end of the year to see if there's something big still yet to happen! )

The return of these guys:

Please forgive my ignorance, but who are these guys?
