Soar through 44 million stars in Gaia telescope's latest 3D map of our galaxy — Space photo of the week
Scientists have used the Gaia Space Telescope to create a 3D map of star kindergartens within the Milky Way, and you can fly through it.
When the ESA launched the Gaia spacecraft in 2013, it didn't generate the same fanfare as the launch of other missions like the JWST, or first light from telescopes like the Vera Rubin Observatory.

Black Hole’s Cosmic Kick Measured in Full 3D for First Time
How does one time the velocity of a black hole racing across the universe? A billion-year-old impact, painstakingly sensitive detectors, and ten years of gravitational wave science were needed in this ...
Two black holes merged together 2.4 billion light years away from Earth, and scientists have just figured out how fast the newborn ricocheted, and in which direction.
