Scientists created the most accurate three-dimensional map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data from ESA's Gaia space telescope. This map will teach us more about these ...

Gaia is the European Space Agency's program to produce the most precise and comprehensive multi-dimensional atlas of the Milky Way galaxy. This enables scientists to rebuild the structure and history ...

The map, spanning 4,000 light-years from the sun in all directions, combines a chart of space dust with the effects of a rare type of young, hot star.

The European Space Agency space telescope also found over 380 gravity-lensed quasars and detailed the orbits of over 150,000 asteroids. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

When you look up at the night sky, do you wonder about what's out there? Most of the stars we can see with the naked eye reside within our own galaxy. And now we know a lot more about them. The ...

When the ESA launched the Gaia spacecraft in 2013, it didn't generate the same fanfare as the launch of other missions like the JWST, or first light from telescopes like the Vera Rubin Observatory.

A craggy mountain peak, a tower, perhaps even a finger — in this new celestial dreamscape from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), something seems to be pointing at a cluster of bright stars above, ...
