Since its launch in 2013, Gaia has been dedicated to creating an accurate three-dimensional map of the Milky Way. Using two high-precision optical telescopes, the spacecraft carefully records the ...

"They're so rare, and they're incredibly useful scientifically," said Conor O'Riordan of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics.

A star system has been discovered to be moving at an estimated 1.2 million miles per hour, making it possibly the fastest moving solar system in our galaxy.

The European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope was going through preliminary tests in September 2023 when it captured images of an Einstein Ring in a nearby galaxy.

Scientists using data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission have made a groundbreaking discovery: a massive exoplanet ...

(Web Desk): Scientists have discovered a planet 12 times larger than Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. In fact, compared to this planet, Jupiter seems like a dwarf planet. Even more ...

Scientists also discovered a second planet, a brown dwarf orbiting another low-mass star. Gaia-5b orbits the Gaia-5 star, around 134 light-years away from Earth.

Data from the Gaia spacecraft shows that even unassuming stars can host monumental companions like massive planets.

By tracing the corkscrew wobble of two stars as they move through the sky, the Gaia space mission has discovered one new giant "planet," plus a new brown dwarf.

Gaia-4b is considered a super-Jupiter planet, a relatively cold gas giant, orbiting its star over 570 Earth-days. That star ...

The ESA’s Gaia mission mapped the positions and velocities of stars with extreme precision by measuring about one billion ...

Using data from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission, scientists have found a huge exoplanet and a brown dwarf. This is the first time a planet has been uniquely discovered by Gaia's ability to ...
