Gaia Mission

The Gaia mission is a European Space Agency (ESA) space observatory that creates a precise 3D map of the Milky Way galaxy by measuring the positions, distances, and motions of stars with unprecedented accuracy. By providing a vast dataset on the structure, composition, and evolution of the galaxy, the Gaia mission is revolutionizing our understanding of the universe and has significant implications for research in astrophysics, cosmology, and the search for dark matter.
