Kepler Mission space telescope, artwork
Kepler Mission space telescope, artwork. The NASA Kepler Mission is designed to discover Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. A 0.95 metre diameter telescope called a 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 on March 7th, 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 showcases the Kepler Mission space telescope, a groundbreaking venture by NASA aimed at unraveling the mysteries of our universe. With its 0.95-meter diameter photometer, this technological marvel embarks on an extraordinary quest to discover Earth-like planets orbiting distant stars within the Milky Way galaxy. Launched on March 7th, 2009, this mission pays homage to Johannes Kepler, a visionary German astronomer whose contributions revolutionized our understanding of celestial bodies. Over its planned lifespan of at least 3.5 years orbiting the Sun, this observatory will meticulously scan and analyze approximately 100,000 stars in search of evidence indicating the presence of terrestrial planets similar in size to our own beloved Earth. The intricate illustration beautifully captures both the awe-inspiring nature and scientific essence behind this ambitious endeavor. It symbolizes humanity's insatiable curiosity about life beyond our planet as we explore uncharted territories in pursuit of knowledge. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, it serves as a reminder that we are but tiny specks in an infinite cosmos teeming with possibilities. The Kepler Mission space telescope stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination as we strive to unlock the secrets hidden among distant stars and potentially uncover new worlds capable of harboring life forms yet unknown to us.
