Gaia Sky is an open-source astronomy visualisation desktop and VR program with versions for Windows, Linux and macOS.It is created and developed by Toni Sagristà Sellés in the framework of ESA's Gaia mission to create a billion-star multi-dimensional map of our Milky Way Galaxy, in the Gaia group of the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut (ZAH, Universität Heidelberg).
Gaia is a space observatory of the European Space Agency (ESA), launched in 2013 and operated until March 2025 (planned). The spacecraft is designed for astrometry: measuring the positions, distances and motions of stars with unprecedented precision, [6] [7] and the positions of exoplanets by measuring attributes about the stars they orbit such as their apparent magnitude and color.

Gaia is a craft from the European Space Agency which is dedicated to astrometry, and that in turn means it’s going to map the heavens. Space telescope shows most detailed map of Milky Way ever ...
An all-sky view of stars in the Milky Way and neighbouring galaxies, based on the first year of observations by Gaia, from July 2014 to September 2015. Map shows the density of stars observed by Gaia in each portion of the sky. Brighter regions indicate denser concentrations of stars, while darker regions correspond to patches of the sky where ...
The result isn't just a gorgeous image, but also an incredibly accurate look at our home galaxy. Along with that sky map, the ESA also released a really fantastic 360-degree video of the night sky ...
Scientists make most detailed ever infrared map of the Milky Way, changing view of our galaxy. Andrew Griffin. September 26, 2024 at 9:22 AM.
English: An all-sky view of stars in the Milky Way and neighbouring galaxies, based on the first year of observations from ESA’s Gaia satellite, from July 2014 to September 2015. This map shows the density of stars observed by Gaia in each portion of the sky.
Astronomers using the Gaia space telescope have located two ancient streams of stars that helped the Milky Way galaxy grow and evolve more than 12 billion years ago.
