The Kepler Mission is a NASA space telescope designed to discover Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. Using a space photometer developed by NASA, it will observe the brightness of over 100,000 stars over 3.5 years to detect periodic transits of a star by its planets (the transit method of detecting planets) as it orbits our Sun. The mission is named in honor of German astronomer Johannes Kepler.

∙ 13y ago- Determine the abundance of terrestrial and larger planets in or near the habitable zone of a wide variety of stars;
- Determine the distribution of sizes and shapes of the orbits of these planets;
- Estimate how many planets there are in multiple-star systems;
- Determine the variety of orbit sizes and planet reflectivities, sizes, masses and densities of short-period giant planets;
- Identify additional members of each discovered planetary system using other techniques; and
- Determine the properties of those stars that harbor planetary systems.

Who built the Kepler space telescope?
nasa
What year did Johann Kepler invent the telescope?
Johannes Kepler did not invent the telescope. The Invention of the telescope is credited to three people Hans Lippershey, and Jacob Metius. The first records appear in 1608, more than 60 years before Kepler was born. The Kepler telescope was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies and launched by NASA in 2009. This telescope was not invented by Johannes Kepler but was merely named in his honor.

Which country does the biggest telescope posses?
Kepler telescope in Hawaii
What is the difference between the hubble and Kepler telescope?
"Kepler" is actually an observatory, rather than a telescope. It does, however, operate in space. "Hubble" is a telescope, in the true sense of the word and, again, it operates in space.

When did Kepler find Pluto?
Neither Johannes Kepler nor the Kepler Space Telescope discovered Pluto. Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, long after Johannes Kepler died and long before the Kepler telescope was created. The Kepler telescope was built to discover planets in other solar systems, not our own.

What planet is Kepler most alike?
There is no Planet Kepler. The Kepler telescope was built to find planets in other solar systems. Planets it finds are given designations such as Kepler-62e. The telescope has found hundreds of planets with a wide range of characteristics.
Who discovered Kepler-20e and kepler-20f?
NASA's space telescope "kepler"

When did Johannes Kepler invent the telescope?
Johannes Kepler did not invent the telescope. The first telescopes were developed in the Netherlands and are credited to three individuals: Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen, who were spectacle makers in Middelburg, and Jacob Metius of Alkmaar. Galileo developed improvements on those early refracting telescope designs and Kepler developed improvements on Galileo's design.
Did Johannes Kepler invent the telescope?
No, Tycho Brahe did, but Kepler just improved it and made it popular
What is the Kepler telescope named for?
It is named after the German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630).
