Kepler retired in 2018 and passed its planet-hunting torch to our TESS mission. Keep up with the search for exciting new worlds: https://science.nasa.gov/exoplanets/ | NASA Universe | Facebook

Our tribute to the Kepler telescope, whose planet-hunting mission just ended this past week. A reading of Johannes Kepler by our board member Robert Picardo. So long, and thanks for all the planets! Kepler searched the skies for 9 wonderful years, discovering and confirming thousands of exoplanets. Farewell, Kepler. And from all of us at The Planetary Society, thank you and congratulations to the Kepler Mission team. | The Planetary Society
