Gaia: supermarket for astronomers

Anthony Brown
Sterrewacht Leiden

I will introduce the Gaia mission and summarize the latest data release, Gaia DR3. This is complemented by highlights of the science results from the Gaia data releases, showcasing the impact of Gaia on many areas of astronomy, among others solar system studies, the Milky Way's accretion and recent dynamical histories, and revealing a new population of black holes.
