Gaia Sky is a real-time, 3D, astronomy visualisation software which can run on Windows, Linux and macOS.
Gaia Sky is developed in the framework of ESA’s Gaia mission to chart about 1 billion stars of our Galaxy in the Gaia group of the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut (ZAH, Universität Heidelberg).

Gaia Sky supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish and German. Later, the software will support more languages.
Gaia Sky v3.3.0 features:
- Free and open source – Open source and free, and will stay this way. Contribute to the development and translations.
- From Gaia to the cosmos – Move freely through the cosmos or explore the Solar System in a seamless manner!
- Virtual Reality – Visit the whole Universe in VR!
- 6D exploration – Observe star positions but also proper motions and radial velocities, if available.
- Planetary surfaces – Explore surfaces with elevation maps (using tessellation, if available).
- Procedural planets – Procedurally generate planet surfaces, clouds and atmospheres.
- Advanced graphics – Screen space reflections, shadows, HDR, ray-marched distance fields, dynamic resolution, etc.
- 3D-ready – 6 stereoscopic modes: Anaglyphic (red-cyan), VR headset, 3DTV (H and V), cross-eye and parallel view.
- 360 mode – Sperhical (equirectangular), cylindrical and Hammer projections available.
- Planetarium projection mode – MPCDI for real-time usage in multi-projector systems. Ready to produce videos for full domes from the desktop app.
- Gaia – Observe Gaia in its orbit and discover its movement in the sky and its attitude.
- Use your data – Download pre-packed datasets (Gaia eDR3, NBG, SDSS, OCDR2, etc.) or use your own, in VOTable, FITS, CSV and other formats (STIL).
- Real-time filters – Filter any dataset by distance, magnitude, galactic, ecliptic, equatorial coordinates, and more.
- SAMP aware – Use SAMP to interoperate with SAMP-ready software such as Topcat and Aladin.
- Navigate the galaxy – Use your favorite controllers and gamepads to navigate the Galaxy. Piece of cake!
- Camera paths – Record and play camera paths off-the-shelf.
- Scriptable and extensible – Use Python to script and extend the capabilities of the Gaia Sky.
- Internationalised – Translated to English, German, Spanish, French, Catalan, Slovenian and Bulgarian.
