Excerpt from a work-in-progress map based on Star Trek and selected works of fan fiction inspired by Trek of the Romulan - or Rihannsu - zone of influence within the Orion Arm, with the star TIC 220416121 highlighted as a possible host star for the fictional planet Iconia.

I think I finally tracked down a candidate for its host star. Maybe, barring additional data from the #GaiaMission, #TESS, #CHEOPS, etc.. There may be corrections yet to come.

Carina Nebula has been cited once or twice in #StarTrekProdigy, if memory serves?

Also, noting that for the closer ones, they're sticking with published material in #StarCharts / #StellarCartography despite those using #Hipparcos data, rather than more recent #GaiaMission.

Gaia Solves the Great Asteroid Spin Mystery Gaia uncovers how cosmic collisions sculpt the strange spins of asteroids. Asteroids don’t all spin the same way, and new data from ESA’s Gaia mission shows why. A study found that collisions and...

FYI: Smethells 84 AKA HIP 106043.

Take a look at any star's #SIMBAD profile, and you'll see lists of names + catalogue numbers up in the dozens in many cases. Nowhere near all of them, of course, because we're logging in stars *new to us* by the *billion* each year nowadays! #GaiaMission #TESS

Space stations are normally rabbit warrens but in my Galactic Treasure Hunt game I imagine that the star stations have artificial gravity and a surrounding force field to keep in the air, all the better to see the beautiful #GaiaMission derived sky.

At the quintuple star system Alula Australis.

I've added a training course and a narration system to guide players through my Galactic Treasure Hunt game. Based on real #GaiaMission data as shown by several signs in the game.

For mobile, web or VR. Take a few minutes to try it out.

Gaia, Europe’s Galactic Cartographer, Is Gone But Not Forgotten Gaia, Europe’s Milky Way–mapping spacecraft, shut down earlier this year. It was arguably the most important—and most overlooked—astronomy project of the 21st century

Ophion: The Star Family That Defies Galactic Norms ESA's Gaia mission has identified Ophion, an unusual group of young stars dispersing rapidly and erratically, prompting a reevaluation of star cluster dynamics.

The trouble now is that projects like #Kepler, #TESS and #GaiaMission are looking for those planets.

Venerdì sera (28 febbraio) se siete liberi, venite che parliamo della missione #gaiamission di #esa, di cosa voleva fare, di cosa di bello ha combinato in tutti questi anni (ora che si avvia alla meritata pensione), di come ci ha svelato una "nuova" Via Lattea. Quella di Gaia, appunto 😉 […]
