A.Vallenari: In 1609, Galileo pointed a telescope to the sky starting 2D revolution in astronomy. @ESAGaia will make 6D revolution! #GaiaDR1
2016-09-14 19:26:22A.Vallenari: Clusters are the birthplaces of stars, so we can use them to read the tale of our Galaxy & how it formed #GaiaDR1
2016-09-14 19:27:33A.Vallenari: We know ~2000 open clusters in the Milky Way, all in Sun's neighbourhood. @ESAGaia will find them all over the Galaxy #GaiaDR1
2016-09-14 19:31:00A.Vallenari: How to identify star clusters? Not easy from images, look @ motions: stars that were born together are moving together #GaiaDR1

2016-09-14 19:34:51.@ESAGaia data archive is now open! Delve into the data & enjoy at archives.esac.esa.int/gaia & via other data centres: sci.esa.int/gaia/58275-dat…
2016-09-14 19:39:31How many open/globular clusters & galaxies can you spot in @ESAGaia's all-sky map? #GaiaDR1 pic.twitter.com/tWNanFhmI8
2016-09-14 19:40:29Now Gisella Clementini, @ESAGaia #DPAC #INAF, Astronomical Observatory of Bologna on stellar distances & the cosmic distance ladder #GaiaDR1
2016-09-14 19:41:44G.Clementini: The #CosmicDistanceLadder is made by overlapping several techniques & distance indicators over different scales #GaiaDR1
2016-09-14 19:42:10G.Clementini: Parallax is a direct method to measure stellar distances, but only "nearby". Need indirect methods to probe farther #GaiaDR1
2016-09-14 19:42:48G.Clementini: Next step in #CosmicDistanceLadder after parallax are variable stars like Cepheids & RRLyrae. #GaiaDR1 contains 3194 (386 new)
2016-09-14 19:44:02G.Clementini: @ESAGaia measures precise distances to Cepheid & RRLyrae stars via parallax, to extend reach of #CosmicDistanceLadder #GaiaDR1
2016-09-14 19:46:01G.Clementini: #GaiaDR1 contains light curves of many variable stars. If you can't see error bars is because they are really small!
2016-09-14 19:47:38G.Clementini: Preliminary application of #GaiaDR1 to calibrate period-luminosity relation looks very promising. But it's only the beginning!
