Gaia data release 3: exploring our multi-dimensional Milky Way
Since its launch in 2013 ESA’s Gaia observatory has been mapping our galaxy from Lagrange point 2, creating the most accurate and complete multi-dimensional map of the Milky Way. By now two full sets of data have been released, the first set in 2016 and a second one in 2018. These data releases contained stellar positions, distances, motions across the sky, and colour information, among others. Now on 13 June 2022 a third and new full data set will be released. This data release will contain even more and improved information about almost 2 billion stars, Solar System objects and extragalactic sources. It also includes radial velocities for 33 million stars, a five-time increase compared to data release 2. Another novelty in this data set is the largest catalogue yet of binary stars in the Milky Way, which is crucial to understand stellar evolution.

Next we should map the stars in the Andromeda galaxy.
Thank you for your fantastic work!👍👍👍👍🇪🇺🇺🇦🕊️
Way 2 freakin' kool 4 skool!
Such endeavors are the pathway to an enlightened future beyond the demons of our savage history. I can only hope at this point that humanity chooses to walk that path.
I salute you, the project team, for your dedication to pursuing the path of hope and dreams of true understanding.
Que Incrível …Esta exploração e apresenta várias características-chave para mostrar diferentes perspectivas com que a Via Láctea seja diferente aos nossos olhos…que grandes revelações Gaia nos espantará desta galáxia chata espira com barra ou padrão?! Tantas pessoas levantaram este fascinante projecto..se conhecermos totalmente a nossa galáxia é uma forma de nos conhecermos a nós?!!!! Obrigada ESA pela exploração fantastica!!
Incredible what we are capable of when we collaborate and work together.
This is good ESA.🔭🌎
É empolgante imaginar o nível de conhecimento que a humanidade vai conquistar nas próximas décadas. Adoraria viver pelo menos mais 100 anos.
Hi ยังมีชีวิตอยู่ ยังมึลมหายใจอยู่ว๊ะ ยังไมีตาย Hi
Where can I sign up for the adopt-a-star program? We need to give them better names than the current alphanumeric designators.
I only see white people in this movie and that is so racist.
Kudos to ESA for this incredible mission
