Great map of our galaxy!

The Gaia telescope is the map of our galaxy, combining the data we have collected since the beginning of the relative. Thanks to the Gaia telescope, we will have knowledge of the origins and evolution of the universe.

Gaia telescope maps our galaxy
The ESA's Gaia telescope was commissioned in 2013. In 2016, it released location and brightness data for 1.1 billion stars. Following ongoing work, Gaia released a second generation data version, the DR2, to 1.7 billion. With this data collected, a map of 500 to 8,000 light-years of our galaxy will be taken. More data on star temperatures, speeds and parallaxes will also be collected.

You will be able to get information about the speed of expansion of the universe and how much the spiral of the Milky Way Galaxy is.

This work, which will shed light on the root and evolution of the universe, will not be limited to this. A third version of the data will be published in 2020 and the detail of the map is planned. This version will also add spectral data or special wave lengths that a star has dropped.

However, black dots will appear where galaxy dust is concentrated. Researchers say that Gaia's technology is not enough for it, and infrared telescopes should be used. Also, although it is not certain yet, the galactic arc containing the world is also being spoken about on the map.
