Gaia just made an unexpected discovery 
Using data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission, scientists have found a huge exoplanet and a brown dwarf. This is the first time a planet has been uniquely discovered by Gaia’s ability to sense the gravitational tug or ‘wobble’ the planet induces on a star. Both the planet and brown dwarf are orbiting low-mass stars, a scenario thought to be extremely rare.

Why is the audio quality poor?
I thought Gaia finished its mission already
are brown dwarfs even classified as stars? It's like a very hot rogue gas giant floating in space with moons. I wonder ESA's perspective
Any comment on the elliptical orbit? Does it actually accelerate and pass close by?
Nice ESA.
Thank you ESA
I think the Gaia mission is very impressive!
ngl thought the literal ESA would have had more comments then just this
