MilkyWay's secrets revealed by massive space probe map
The Gaia spacecraft is nestled in a strategically positioned orbit 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, where it has been watching the skies since it was launched by the ESA in 2013."Gaia scans the sky and picks up everything it sees," said astronomer Misha Haywood of the Paris Observatory.
"It provides a global observation of the positions of anything that moves in the sky, for the first time," Haywood said, adding that before Gaia"we had a really restricted view of the galaxy"."Our galaxy is a beautiful melting pot of stars," said Gaia member Alejandra Recio-Blanco. Gaia was not built to observe starquakes but still detected the strange phenomenon on thousands of stars, including some that should not have any—at least according to our current understanding of the universe.Around 50were published alongside the new data, with many more expected in the coming years. Gaia's observations have fuelled thousands of studies since its first dataset was released in 2016.
