Gaia’s Journey Comes to an End
Europe’s Gaia space telescope has officially entered retirement after a decade of groundbreaking work. On Thursday, engineers powered down the telescope, marking the end of an era. Gaia has played a crucial role in expanding our understanding of the universe. 
The mission has provided invaluable data, mapping the positions and motions of over a billion stars.
During its operational years, Gaia transformed the field of astronomy. It gathered precise measurements that helped scientists create a detailed 3D map of our galaxy. This map not only enhanced our knowledge of star formation but also shed light on the dynamics of our Milky Way. Gaia’s legacy lives on through the wealth of information it has provided, which will continue to fuel research for years to come.
