⭐️ One of the last Gaia observations was of the iconic double star 61 Cyg (see Figure), whose distance was the first ever measured in 1838 thanks to F. W. Bessel.
📊 The Gaia team is working on preparing Data Release 4, which will make new groundbreaking science possible with a much larger data volume. Gaia DR4, covering 5.5 years of mission data, is expected in 2026.
