The #GaiaMission, after "10.5 years of science operations, Gaia has made some three trillion observations of about two billion stars.." continues.
Observations have ended but data processing has not! Indeed, it takes years of processing to transform these observations into usable quantities (parallax, stellar magnitude, temperature, metallicity..). Next data release in 2026 will be based on half of these observations. The best is yet to come!
