Last week EAS Annual Meeting was held with a 2-day Gaia symposium: "Gaia: The (TWO) Billion Star Galaxy Census: from the Solar System to our Milky Way and beyond". Interested in the talks of this symposium, slides have been uploaded to the GREAT wiki page here: great.ast.cam.ac.uk/Greatwiki/Grea…

💖Great teamwork from our Gaia payload experts of #GaiaDPAC, Gaia teams at ESA Operations and European Space Agency science operations and Airbus Space to solve Gaia's first CCD issue in more than 10 years in space! Full story 👇

Time for modern space pentathlon in the #ESAGames! Our contender is ESA Gaia, up against ESA's CryoSat mission, SMOS satellite and #Proba2. Show your support for Gaia with a vote 👉 x.com/esa/status/181…

Here's why ESA Gaia deserves your vote to win the #ESAGames modern space pentathlon 👉 x.com/esa/status/181… Our billion star surveyor set out to study stars in our Milky Way, but the Gaia data turned out to be a treasure trove for so many other fields of study. From globular

☺️Thank you all for your vote for the #GaiaMission! We will do our best to deliver gold with our next data release, ✨#GaiaDR4! Do check out the great work of our competitors in the #ESAGames: Cryosat 👉esa.int/Applications/O… / SMOS 👉 esa.int/Applications/O… / Proba-2

Our ESA Gaia helps astronomers answer important questions about the history of our own galaxy. Just recently, Gaia: 💥 found our galaxy's last major collision to have been surprisingly recent 🪢 discovered two ancient threads of the Milky Way 🌀 revealed that most of our

Our #GaiaDPAC collaborator's project "the virtual starship" is a project that explores the Milky Way and beyond, using #GaiaData and the Milky Way maps created by @Galaxy_map. More info 👇🏿

Today, the #GaiaMission celebrates 10 years of science operations. Over the course of these years, Gaia scanned across 256 billion objects, taking over 3 trillion CCD measurements. Celebrate this milestone with us! Full story on Gaia's celebration: cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/iow_2…

Did you know there is cat in Orion? esa.int/ESA_Multimedia… Gaia maps the stars in the sky. Some areas show less stars, because stars are blocked from view by a dense cloud of gas and dust. One of these dark nebula's in the Orion constellation shows a cat! #InternationalCatDay
