"On Thursday 27 March, the European Space Agency (ESA) sent its last messages
to the Gaia Spacecraft. They told Gaia to shut down its communication systems
and central computer and said goodbye to this amazing space telescope.
Gaia has been the most successful ESA space mission ever, so why did they turn
Gaia off? What did Gaia achieve? And perhaps most importantly, why was it my
favourite space telescope?"
