Second Gaia data release is tomorrow, 25 Apr 2018
#4
I downloaded a high res version of the "all-sky-view" and I have to say, it doesn't have the wow factor of a nice desktop wallpaper.  

My low-brow comment would be that it looks like a nice opal at best.  

Why the oblong oval shape?

I'm now wondering if there was a Tissot's Indicatrix applied.  I might have to try the VR version just to get past any 2D transformation distortions.
