Loading datasets on-the-fly in #GaiaSky just got easier:
We've added a new "Installed Datasets" tab to the load dialog, allowing you to quickly jump into your library without browsing folders. The classic file picker is still there for your custom .vot, .csv, and .fits files.

Watch below! 🎬

Here is an animation of the Artemis-II mission and the Lunar flyby.

I liked this #ArtemisII picture of the Moon so much that I tried to recreate it in #GaiaSky.

Left is the real picture, right is Gaia Sky.

Release day: #GaiaSky 3.7.2 is out! 📢📢📢

This one comes with many new features and bug fixes, as usual. See the release notes here: https://gaiasky.space/news/2026/gaiasky_3.7.2/

Been working on a dataset to add some detail to the rings of Saturn in the form of particles. I'm quite happy with the result, especially the performance. The video shows 1.5 million rock/dust particles. Transitions to/from the ring model are quite seamless.
