New data from the Gaia space telescope are being called a cosmic "goldmine," including never-seen-before stars, 380 gravity-lensed quasars, and the orbits of over 150,000 asteroids.

A decade ago, the Gaia space mission was launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) with the ambition of creating a 3D map of our galaxy.

ESA's Gaia mission has released new data and images that unravel more secrets bout our galaxy — and beyond.

Recent data helps us understand a phenomenon called gravitational lensing and reveals star-packed parts of the sky normally too faint to see.

The European space telescope is providing a treasure trove of astronomical data.

Gaia is an astronomical observatory spacecraft with a mission to generate an accurate stellar census, thus mapping our galaxy and beyond.

New data from the Gaia space telescope are a cosmic goldmine, including never-seen-before stars, 380 gravity-lensed quasars, and the orbits of over 150,000 asteroids.

The ESA's Gaia star surveyor marks its 10th birthday this December.

The latest data release from the European Space Agency’s Gaia observatory just dropped, and it’s a massive one: the spacecraft has identified half a million stars in a nearby cluster, nearly 400 gravitational lenses, and the orbits of some 156,000-odd asteroids.

The ages of planets and stars helps scientists understand how they change – and, in for planets, if life has had time to have evolve.
