Astronomers have discovered an extraordinary new giant radio galaxy with plasma jets 32 times the size of our Milky Way.

This information includes stellar movements, luminosities, temperatures, and compositions, allowing scientists to reconstruct the history and structure of our galaxy. The mission has enabled the ...

Astronomers have identified a colossal giant radio galaxy (GRG) stretching 3.3 million light-years across—32 times the size ...

The Gaia space telescope, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) in December 2013 with the aim of creating a detailed three-dimensional map of the Milky Way galaxy, has observed about 2 ...

By that metric, the ESA's Gaia mission is a resounding success. The spacecraft gave us a precise, 3D map of our Milky Way galaxy and has forced us to abandon old ideas and replace them with compelling ...

Gaia has therefore built the most precise map of the Milky Way to date, giving the ESA a detailed reconstructed view of our home galaxy. “It contains major changes from previous models ...

Gaia was launched on December 19, 2013, with the aim to create a three-dimensional map of the Milky Way galaxy and beyond by surveying nearly two billion objects. The assignment was initially expected ...

This has enabled Gaia to deliver on its primary goal of building the largest, most precise map of the Milky Way, showing us our home galaxy like no other mission has done before. As such, we now also ...
