欧洲航天局的盖亚任务发布了关于我们所在星系的新数据宝库，包括恒星 DNA、不对称运动、奇怪的“星震”和其他有趣的发现。

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Gaia mission has released a new treasure trove of data about our home galaxy, including stellar DNA, asymmetric motions, strange ‘starquakes’, and other fascinating insights.

盖亚任务目标是创建最准确、最完整的银河系多维地图，使天文学家能重建我们所在星系的结构和过去数十亿年的演化过程，以更好地了解恒星的生命周期及在宇宙中的位置。

Gaia is ESA’s mission to create the most accurate and complete multi-dimensional map of the Milky Way. This allows astronomers to reconstruct our home galaxy’s structure and past evolution over billions of years, and to better understand the lifecycle of stars and our place in the Universe. 

来自剑桥大学、伦敦大学学院、爱丁堡大学、莱斯特大学和布里斯托大学的盖亚英国团队在迄今为止最详尽的银河系研究中发挥了重要作用，提供了光度和分光光度的数据内容。

The Gaia UK team at the University of Cambridge, University College London, University of Edinburgh, University of Leicester, and University of Bristol have played an essential part in this most detailed Milky Way survey to date, providing the photometric and spectrophotometric data content.
