Gaia ‘Star chaser’

© Richard Pearson

In this week’s program our main theme is the Milky Way.

In recent news it is now estimated that there are 60 billion stars with extra solar planets in our Milky Way, and there are 100 billion stars in our galaxy. In this week’s program we highlight the European Space Agency’s new mission GAIA which is to launch soon atop of a Russian rocket to study the stars of our Milky Way in extra fine detail. 

Please feel free share this video on face book & Twitter, and among yours friends. In our next program we will take a look at the highlights of the August night sky.

Kind regards | Richard Pearson
