… there is a star map waiting in the Gaia Archive
…we would like you to come and meet it
PRESS CONFERENCE AND PUBLIC OUTREACH TALKS
The Gaia mission is a long term European wide ESA mission to map two billions of stars in our and nearby galaxies. Italy is a prime contributor to this mission and we are organizing a half-day introduction to Gaia and in particular the scientific results that have followed from this data release. On Thursday 3 December 2020 at 12:00 CET the Gaia mission will release an early installment of its Third Data Release.
