Our Gaia mission is going to be switched off tomorrow, 27 March.
The spacecraft might be going into retirement, but the science continues with two major data releases in preparation for 2026 and 2030.

The disappearance of Gaia!
On 4 March, astronomer Zhuo-Xiao Wang captured this view of the sudden disappearance of ESA’s Gaia spacecraft.

Applications are open for our visiting grad student program (pre-doc program) at the CCA @flatironinstitute.org!
Reach out if you're a student interested in:
- Preparing for Gaia DR4
- Stellar streams
- Data-driven methods for spectroscopy
(and want to apply!)
