By measuring the precise positions, speeds and trajectories of about 2 billion of the brightest stars in the sky, Gaia enables astronomers not only to see the galaxy as it looks today, but also to replay the movie of its life millions and billions of years into the past and future. While not such a household name as the or the , Gaia has...…Space is supported by its audience.
