NASA Kepler Mission www.nasa.gov kepler.nasa.gov Kepler Lifts Off on Planet Finding Mission www.youtube.com Zooming in on Kepler's Field of View: www.nasa.gov nasa's Kepler mission successfully launched into space from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II at 10:49 pm EST, Friday. www.nasa.gov Here are some quick facts about the Kepler mission, scheduled to launch March 6, 2009: - Kepler is the world's first mission with the ability to find true Earth analogs -- planets that orbit stars like our sun in the "habitable zone." The habitable zone is the region around a star where the temperature is just right for water -- an essential ingredient for life as we know it -- to pool on a planet's surface. - By the end of Kepler's three-and-one-half-year mission, it will give us a good idea of how common or rare other Earths are in our Milky Way galaxy. This will be an important step in answering the age-old question: Are we alone? - Kepler detects planets by looking for periodic dips in the brightness of stars. Some planets pass in front of their stars as seen from our point of view on Earth; when they do, they cause their stars to dim slightly, an event Kepler can see. - Kepler has the largest camera ever launched into space, a 95-megapixel array of charge-coupled devices, or ccds, like those in everyday digital cameras. - Kepler's telescope is so powerful that, from its view up in space, it could detect one person in a small town ...
