Using data from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission, scientists have found a huge exoplanet and a brown dwarf. This is the first time a planet has been uniquely discovered by Gaia's ability to ...

Data from the Gaia spacecraft shows that even unassuming stars can host monumental companions like massive planets.

With an assist from the NEID spectrograph, a team of astronomers have confirmed the existence of exoplanet Gaia-4b—one of the ...

The Gaia space telescope, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) in December 2013 with the aim of creating a detailed three-dimensional map of the Milky Way galaxy, has observed about 2 ...

While Gaia can't directly spot the dim companions of these stars, the space telescope was able to infer their presence. This is because when a brown dwarf, or small star in general, orbits a ...

ESA's groundbreaking Gaia space telescope is about to end its research work because it is running out of fuel. Tomorrow, Wednesday, the instrument will collect scientific data for the last time ...
