Kepler Telescope
Kepler
is a retired space observatory launched by NASA to discover Earth-size
planets orbiting other stars. Named after astronomer Johannes Kepler,
the spacecraft was launched on March 7, 2009, into an Earth-trailing
heliocentric orbit. The principal investigator was William J. Borucki.
Kepler observed 530,506 stars and discovered 2,662 exoplanets over its lifetime.[15] A newer NASA mission, TESS, launched in 2018, is continuing the search for exoplanets.[43]
