This video starts outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. The camera moves slowly towards the Sun, passing thousands of TGAS stars to finally reach the Solar System and ultimately the Gaia Satellite. Camera orbits Gaia for a while.

A short interactive session with Gaia Sky where we watch (and try to keep in view) the more than 14000 asteroids in Gaia DR2 catalog in movement from the vicinity of Saturn. Some 100 million Gaia DR2 stars are visible in the background.

This video demonstrates the future movement of the constellations as the individual stars forming them move. Set the playing velocity to x2 to clearly see the movement, otherwise the movement is very gradual.
The movement is shown along a timeline of close to 0.64E6 years (2017 to around 630200), and one second in the video translates to 8555 years in the simulation.

Fast preview of the new 'rather large' catalog in Gaia Sky. It contains all stars up to 50% parallax relative error, or some 400 million of them.
