Positions of the transits of sources published in Gaia DR3 in a full-sky Hammer-Aitoff projection in equatorial coordinates. The origin of RA and Dec is at the centre, north is up, and α increases from right to left. Darkness is related to the density of observations. Some density patterns related to the Gaia scanning law are clearly present. It is interesting to note the emergence of the highest stellar density regions as less dark areas close to the Galactic centre (around RA = 270° and Dec = −30°), where the efficiency of unambiguous identifications decreases.
