Gaia comes into focus
ESA’s billion-star surveyor Gaia is slowly being brought into focus. The test image released today by ESA shows a dense cluster of stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way.
Gaia will be featured in Episode 3 of BBC Two's Stargazing Live 2014 on 9 January.
