Anton HeliosI drove to my office at 560 Westmount. I had a small office in the Quantum Investments building. Many years earlier, one of my investments had eventually led to some significant returns, and a solid relationship with the founders of QI. I checked to see if Neil, one of the founders, was in. He was, and we settled into one of the meeting rooms.<a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/PositiveSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PositiveSF</a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/CanadianSF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CanadianSF</a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/HoE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HoE</a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Transmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transmigration</a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/MachineIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MachineIntelligence</a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Robots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Robots</a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaia</a> <a href="https://21cm.ca/tags/SelfConsciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SelfConsciousness</a>

Mark McCaughreanFittingly the last talk of today’s celebration & wake for the Gaia spacecraft – Anthony Brown of the Sterrewacht Leiden, chair of the Data Processing & Analysis Consortium, presenting some of the science highlights from the mission (so far).

AkaSci 🛰️Farewell message by Ronald Drimmel -“Two is better than one,” someone said, so two telescopes you were given. “Two is better than one,” you replied, so two billion stars you gifted. Ten years (and more!) you danced around the Sun but always stayed on station. Duty is done. It’s time to be untethered, to wander free beneath those stars, no further measures to be taken. You’ll hear no more from me, nor we from you, but you’ll not easily be forgotten. ...<a href="https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/iow_20250327" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/iow_20250327</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Gaia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaia</a> 3/n

Jumping LangurToday, Gaia has been ejected from its Lissajous orbit around L2 into a heliocentric orbit. The spacecraft has ended its sky-scanning phase after more than 10 years, and has been switched off. We'll see it again close to Earth in 2039.
