Gaia, the space observatory, won’t shut down easily now that its mission is over. Shades of Star Trek—TOS episode “The Changling,” “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” You knew this would be a problem!

A 5-minute summary video on the 11-year observational legacy of the Gaia telescope, as it ends its observational life and goes into passive mode. There are still two large data releases to come.

Oh no, #Gaia, the European #Space Agency's space gadget, is going to bed in 2025! 
After years of looking at stars, it's finally taking a nap—probably tired of being ignored in favor of #Elon Musk's latest Twitter tantrum. 
Who knew even spacecrafts need a #cosmic #retirement plan?

The disappearance of Gaia, ESA spacecraft will be turned off on 27 March 2025
Verstuur vanop https://redhenry.be/ ook een standaard mail naar supermarkten om te pleiten voor het gebruik van de diervriendelijkere in-ovo detectietechniek. #Gaia #campagne #dierenwelzijn

Dat moet beter kunnen, toch?

To further mark the retirement of the ESA's amazingly successful #Gaia Milky Way surveyor spacecraft yesterday, some pictures taken of it during my visit to EADS Astrium in Toulouse on 3 May 2013, 6.5 months before launch.
1. Me in front of the large silicon carbide torus with its two large rectangular telescope primary mirrors;
2. The torus from below;
3. The huge focal plane with its 106 CCD detectors;
4. The large "top hat" that covers it all.
The Milky Way, if we could see it from above.

Some memorabilia from yesterday’s event at ESOC as the ESA #Gaia spacecraft was deactivated after running out of propellant & moved off L2 into an Earth-trailing solar orbit.
One of these objects might last until the Sun turns into red giant five billion years from now; the other will be lucky to last the weekend 
Thanks to my ESA colleagues for the former & the fine folk at Oedipus Brewing in Amsterdam for the latter 
Names of >1500 people participated in #Gaia were uploaded to onboard memory before final shutdown. Proud to be in the list :)
