Gaia is ESA’s mission to create the most accurate and complete multi-dimensional map of the Milky Way. This allows astronomers to reconstruct our home galaxy’s past and future evolution over billions of years, better understand the lifecycle of stars, and our place in the Universe.
On 13 June, Gaia’s third full data set will be released, which contains new and improved details for almost two billion objects in our Milky Way and revolutionises our understanding of the galaxy.
