Gaia's mission aims to pick out celestial objects 400,000 times fainter than the human eye can see. The 1,000,000,000 pixel camera will map our galaxy in 3D with an unprecedented accuracy and test Einstein's theory of relativity with greater precision than before. The Gaia space telescope, built by Airbus Defence and Space, holds the largest instrument ever created fully in Siliconcarbide. More information: http://bit.ly/1LiJq3W
