Hi guys,
I'm sure many of you will have seen in the news recently that the ESA's Gaia probe has determined 3d position and proper motion data for over a billion stars. I was wondering if some/all of this data might be included in SN v8? I really like the 3d positioning feature of stars, so it would be great if this was able to be significantly expanded. Obviously all 1 billion stars might prove challenging computationally, but if even a small subset of this dataset were to be included, a much larger number of 3d stars than there are currently would be a really great addition I feel!
