"The best Milky Way map, by Gaia (edge-on)"

The "by Gaia" implies the opposite to me. Unless the "artist's impressions" are from someone named Gaia???

"This is a new artist’s impression of our galaxy, the Milky Way, based on data from ESA’s Gaia space telescope."

I'm sure you know of headlines vs details; when it comes down to it, space science relies on marketing to get some funding and interest in it, and using 100% accurate headlines is not good marketing.
