Voluminous clouds of cosmic dust permeate our galaxy, but only recently has software allowed detailed observations of the ...

Credit: ESA/Gaia/DPAC We now have the most detailed catalogue of stars in our Milky Way galaxy yet. The new map -- created using data collected by the Gaia satellite -- shows about 1.7 billion ...

This information has enabled the creation of the most detailed 3D map of our galaxy. Despite the end of observations, Gaia's legacy is far from over. Scientists are already preparing the fourth ...

Previous efforts to map the galaxy's dust were challenged by limited data, but the Gaia mission has provided a treasure trove ...

Astronomers have constructed the first detailed 3D map of the properties of cosmic dust in our home galaxy. For their map, the astronomers used 130 million spectra from ESA's Gaia mission, results ...

The galactic map maker has changed our understanding of the galaxy, its past, neighborhood, and even provided new insights into the Solar System. After 10.5 years of observations, Gaia’s eye on ...

Astronomers rely on clear observations to study celestial objects, but cosmic dust alters what we see, making stars appear ...

As astronomers peer through telescopes across the cosmos, dust clouds may distort the light from distant objects, altering observations.

And so Gaia has made this three-dimensional map of more than a million quasars ... that’s all in the dusty disk of our galaxy. You can pierce through that with infrared. You can see lots ...

Despite having recently officially ended its science operations in January, Gaia, one of the most prolific star explorers ...

Researchers have revealed the first three-dimensional (3D) map of the properties of interstellar dust in the Milky Way Galaxy ...
