Kepler Mission space telescope, artwork C013 / 8967
Kepler Mission space telescope. Computer artwork of NASAs Kepler telescope in space. The Kepler Mission is designed to discover Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. Keplers 0.95-metre diameter photometer will scan 100, 000 stars in the Milky Way for evidence of Earth-sized terrestrial planets that transit the stars path. The mission was launched in March 2009, and will orbit the Sun for at least 3.5 years. The mission is named in honour of German astronomer Johannes Kepler

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the Kepler Mission space telescope, a remarkable feat of technology and human ingenuity. Designed by NASA, this telescope is on a mission to discover Earth-like planets orbiting distant stars in our Milky Way galaxy. With its 0.95-meter diameter photometer, Kepler scans an astounding 100,000 stars for evidence of terrestrial planets similar in size to our own. By observing the transit of these planets across their host stars' paths, scientists hope to uncover potential habitable zones where life may exist. Launched into space in March 2009, Kepler will tirelessly orbit the Sun for at least 3.5 years, pushing the boundaries of astrophysics and planetary science. Named after Johannes Kepler, a renowned German astronomer from the past who made significant contributions to our understanding of celestial bodies and their motion. In this stunning illustration by Detlev van Ravenswaay from Science Photo Library, we see the majestic spacecraft floating gracefully amidst the vastness of space. Its advanced technology represents humanity's relentless pursuit to explore beyond our solar system and search for signs of extraterrestrial life. The image serves as a reminder that we are living in an era where scientific advancements have enabled us to venture further into unknown realms than ever before. The Kepler Mission embodies both technological prowess and unwavering curiosity as it seeks answers about our place in the universe.
