Gaia sees stellar nurseries (animation still 2): This is a still image of the animation showing Gaia's star-formation map in 3D.: In this animation we fly around the star-formation map in our Milky Way galaxy. The areas that are mapped reach out to 4000 light-years from our Sun. They are shown as reddish clouds. This map will teach us more about these obscure cloudy areas, and the hot young stars that shape them. Credit: ESA/Gaia/DPAC, S. Payne-Wardenaar, L. McCallum et al (2025)
