Science observations have ended for the #GaiaMission, but the satellite is undergoing some end-of-life testing. ESA has reoriented the satellite, so it is much brighter than usual, making it a possible target for small telescopes. Observers from around the world are sharing their images (see link below), and the image below is a rather nice example.
