Previously, these had been difficult to identify, but with the Gaia space observatory's data having mapped the Milky Way with high precision in three dimensions, more of these streams have been ...

"With an orbital period of 570 days, it is a relatively cold gas giant planet," said Guðmundur Stefánsson of the University ...

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

The European Space Agency's (ESA) Gaia telescope has completed its objective - making the most detailed and precise map of the Milky Way galaxy. The agency shared the visuals on social media, ...

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 ...

If a star orbits a black hole, it will appear from a distance to be orbiting empty space. Gaia projects the star’s orbit on a ...

With an assist from the NEID spectrograph, a team of astronomers have confirmed the existence of exoplanet Gaia-4b—one of the ...

The Gaia space observatory orbits the so-called Lagrange 2 (L2) point, approximately 1.5 million kilometres away from the Earth where gravitational forces between the Earth and Sun are balanced ...

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

Using in part the NEID spectrograph mounted on the WIYN 3.5-meter Telescope at the U.S. National Science Foundation Kitt Peak ...

The bright star that sits just at the edge of the prominent bluish galaxy is only 3,230 light-years away, as measured by ESA's Gaia space observatory. Behind this star is a galaxy named LEDA 803211.
