The Gaia catalogues are star catalogues created using the results obtained by Gaia space telescope. The catalogues are released in stages that will contain increasing amounts of information; the early releases also miss some stars, especially fainter stars located in dense star fields. [1] Data from every data release can be accessed at the ...
Gaia is a space observatory of the European Space Agency (ESA) that was launched in 2013 and is planned to operate until March 2025. The spacecraft is designed for astrometry: measuring the positions, distances and motions of stars with unprecedented precision, [5] [6] and the positions of exoplanets by measuring attributes about the stars they orbit such as their apparent magnitude and color. [7]
Today’s release, based on 22 months’ worth of data from ESA’s Gaia sky-mapping satellite, follows up on an initial version of the catalog that was released in 2016. This second release adds ...
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 BH1 (Gaia DR3 4373465352415301632) is a binary system consisting of a G-type main-sequence star and a likely stellar-mass black hole, located about 1,560 light-years (478 pc) away from the Solar System in the constellation of Ophiuchus. [4]

The source star 2MASS 19400112+3007533 is a magnitude 14.5 (Gaia RP) star in Cygnus. It was closely observed during a set of brightening events caused by gravitational microlensing in 2016. [ 2 ] The Gaia16aye event was first noticed by the Gaia space mission via an alert on August 9, 2016.
Gaia Whose people are known by the same name or the Anti-Mules, is a planet described in the novel Foundation's Edge and referred to in Foundation and Earth. The name is derived from the Gaia hypothesis, which is itself eponymous to Gaia, the Earth goddess. Gaia is located in the Sayshell Sector, about ten parsecs (32 light-years) from the ...
