The Gaia mission will yield the most detailed three-dimensional map ever made of the Milky Way galaxy. Gaia will chart a billion stars (about 1% of the stars in our galaxy) using two telescopes and three scientific instruments. On September 14, 2016, the mission released its first set of data from a year of scanning the sky.
