Launched almost exactly 10 years ago, the Kepler Space Telescope has discovered thousands of exoplanets using thetransit method- small dips in a star's brightness as planets cross in front of the star. Because other phenomena can mimic transits, Kepler data revealplanet candidates, but further ana...
Known for the ability to find alien worlds, the Kepler Space Telescope has changed our way of thinking of the universe. But how was it built?
Kepler’s exoplanet days werehalted last yearwhen the second of its four reaction wheels (pointing devices) failed, which meant the telescope could not gaze at its “field” of stars in the Cygnus constellation for signs of exoplanets transiting their stars. ...

NASA's Kepler space telescope's count of exoplanets has passed the magic 1,000 mark, including eight new "habitable" planets and 544 candidate planets.
Later this decade NASA will launch the Nancy GraceRoman Space Telescope. Roman will find potentially thousands of distant planets using the microlensing method. TheEuropean Space Agency’s Euclid mission, due to launch next year, could also undertake a microlensing exoplanet search as ...
