The Universe of Gaia
Launched in December 2013, ESA’s Gaia satellite has been scanning the sky to perform the most precise stellar census of our Milky Way galaxy, observing more than one billion stars and measuring their positions, distances and motions to unprecedented accuracy.
The second Gaia data release, published in April, has provided scientists with extraordinary data to investigate the formation and evolution of stars in the Galaxy and beyond, giving rise to hundreds of scientific studies that are revolutionising our view of the cosmos.

Excellent promo. I need to get more details on this mission. Seems very interesting. I wish it had a little bit details about instruments on board, and how it captures all that data. Great work!

Amazing Science being done!
Great job! Hats off to everyone involved.
This presentation by astrophysicist Jackie Faherty shows a lot a what has been done Gaia data: https://youtu.be/LOJ1XmbSKhM I found it really interesting.
Humans have really advanced our capabilities in the last two or three decades. Great science, design and engineering.
…And the beginning is so amazing!
The Alpha quadrant has been charted.

What happened to dr. J?
Man, I had to klick Pause repeatedly, to read and think and try to imagine what it would look like if I could see such phenomena with my own eyes.
Gaia abriu o seu leque para descobrir o que há de fascinante no universo!! Escolheram o nome certo a Terra como IA …mais um projecto que elevou a astronomia a outro patamar da exigência!! O universo é como uma caixa de Pandora que nos desafia a cada instante …basta a arte e o engenho para ir descobrindo o desconhecido e nós ficamos todos espantados com este desenvolvimento e apoteose da missão que obteve 100% de ser bem sucedida!! Só temos de agradecer a todos os envolvidos!!
Oh My God … That is awesome. That is so cool.
It is a great honor to see that the subtitles I added have been accepted, it is my first time and I am very proud of it!
Mesmerizing …. Just being able to watch the movement of billions of stars…? It gets me to think that the pursuit of what is bigger than us also helps us grow together as better fellow humans in everyday life…
