I have a question.Will ESA has plan to launch a new mission to explore the cosmos like Gaia(Except Euclid)?
Good to see you on screen after a loooong time. Miss Persi
Farewell, Gaia. Job WELL DONE.
why no european subtitles…? I mean, I pay your salary and with the low costs compared to a rocket launch… Don't get me wrong, I think the video is good and I understand enough. But that makes it an exhausting watch instead of a nice afternoon activity after work… take it for what it is: constructive criticism
All the different languages would obscure the video image. No?
Is there any way for me as an amateur astronomer to learn more about the stars in the datasets? I've been observing many but haven't been able to learn their mass/type and distance.
What an amazing job you did with Gaia, proud of ESA <3
thank you gaia
I give you an a+ for photography and an F-for description, get out of the 1700s, space is electric, dark matter is showing magnetic fields which are created in only one way. Electric burklin currents everywhere.
Sorry, even with the discoveries being THAT important, I can't take seriously anyone have a huge booger in the nose…
What will happen if we all humans go on mars or another planet leave earth and destroy moon then later again come to earth?
