What was named after Johannes Kepler?
The Kepler Space Mission was named after Johannes Kepler. Johannes Kepler was an astronomy. The Kepler Space Mission is a mission to search for a habitable earth like orbiting star.
What is the diameter of the planet kepler?
There are lots of planets in the Kepler series. To answer your question, we need to know to which number Kepler you are asking about.
Are the new planets Kepler-62f and Kepler-62e or Ceres and Eris?
Ceres and Eris are not planets; they are classified as dwarf planets. Eris was discovered in our solar system recently and not by the Kepler mission. Ceres is not "new" either; it was discovered the first day of the 19th. Century. I didn't check the specific "Kepler-" codes, but that looks like planets discovered by the Kepler mission to be orbiting around other stars.
What are the benefits of the Kepler mission?
One benefit to me about the Kepler mission, is that we won't always have to wonder if there is any other life on any other planet? I think that is something that we have at least wondered once if there is life on other planets. SO I think with this mission we will finally have proof of if there is life on other planets.
Why is NASA's Kepler Mission important?
To see if there are more earth sizedplanets in the Milky Way galaxy.
Has the kelper mission found anything?
The Kepler mission started in March 2009, so it is unlikely that is has found anything so far. 4/5/2009
Did NASA launch a probe to search for new planets?
NASA has launched the Kepler mission to search for new planets.
Does Kepler orbit the sun?
The Kepler mission is specifically designed to survey a portion of our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover dozens of Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone and determine how many of the billions of stars in our galaxy have such planets. Results from the mission will allow us to place our solar system within the continuum of planetary systems in the Galaxy.
Who was the first to propose elliptical orbits of the planets?
Johannes Kepler
How does the Kepler mission plan to detect Earthlike planets around other stars?
by observing the slight dip in brightness of the central star as the planet transits
The fact that each planets orbit is an ellipse was discovered by?
Johannes Kepler determined that all planets have elliptical orbits.
Who discovered planet Kepler?
There is no planet that is simply called "Kepler". The Kepler spacecraft discovered various planets, with names such as "Kepler-4b", "Kepler 11-d", etc.
