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 ...
Gaia is a space observatory of the European Space Agency (ESA), launched in 2013 and expected to operate until Spring 2025. 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.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Scientists on Tuesday unveiled the first pictures taken by the European space telescope Euclid, a shimmering and stunning collection of galaxies too numerous to count.
The viewer accelerates out of the Solar System and then the Milky Way, finally revealing vast numbers of galaxies. The ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre is an astronomy centre located at the site of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Headquarters in Garching bei München. It offers exhibitions, guided tours and planetarium shows ...
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.

NGC 6397 (also known as Caldwell 86) is a globular cluster in the constellation Ara that was discovered by French astronomer Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille in 1752. [9] It is located about 7,800 light-years from Earth, [3] making it one of the two nearest globular clusters to Earth (the other one being Messier 4).
In 2018, the Gaia project of the European Space Agency, designed primarily to investigate the origin, evolution and structure of the Milky Way, delivered the largest and most precise census of positions, velocities and other stellar properties of more than a billion stars, which showed that Sgr dSph had caused perturbations in a set of stars ...
