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.
What planet is 1000 light years away?
Because planets are rather small on astronomical scales - or at least, when compared to stars, and not luminous like stars, it is very hard to see them at great distances. NASA's Kepler spacecraft, which was launched to detect planets within habitable zones of stars, detected in 2011 a couple planets orbiting a star roughly 1000 light years distance. The planets, designated Kepler 20e and 20f, are part of an unusual solar system, and are roughly Earth-sized and 'rocky' but orbiting their host star within the distance of Mercury to our Sun, which would make them too hot for life.
How did Tycho Brahe contribute Kepler's laws?
Tycho, for the most part, just gathered a vast amount of data of the planets and their movements. He didn't really do much analyzing of the data to come up with laws or theories. That was done after his death by his assistant, Johannes Kepler, who took that very data and discovered alot about how the planets move and orbit the sun. But Tycho's contribution was significant because he devised ways of measuring the positions of planets and other objects that were more accurate than ever before. These allowed Kepler to do better calcuations than before and discover the small differences between the old model of planetary orbits and the elliptical orbits that Kepler discovered and passed on to later scientists.
What would life be without telescopes?
then we wont be able to see the planets and it would be hard to see the consolations.
What are the chances there is NOT life on other planets?
Space astronauts went to the planets to be sure there is no life on planets

Is there earth like planets around halo stars in the galaxy?
From: Angelo. k Francisco Yes" there is a Planet called Kepler. It is known to be able to provide life. In better terms its like Earth but Three times bigger
Are there any planets that can have life?
Yes, there are 2 billion planets around our solar system and many of them can host different species of life forms beyond our knowledge or understanding.
What is the purpose of other planets?
Because they are like other life planets they might be able to produce more life when Earth explodes.

How many planets have scientist found?
the amount of planets in this life-system has not yet been found but many scientist are still trying to find out do to mars water roots
Earth has abundant life dou you think that other planets or moons might support life If so which ones which characteristics of the planets or moons might be conducive to life?
It is my personal opinion that Earth cannot be the only planet that has abundant life. I believe that if life is going to be discovered on another planet that it will be the newest plant to be discovered, planet Kepler 186f.
What are the three laws of Johannes Kepler all about?
Kepler's three "laws" of planetary motion constitute Kepler's explanation of the motions of the inner six planets of the solar system. He formulated them from years of sweating over the notebooks kept by another individual who spent his life watching the planets and keeping records of their motions. (Tycho Brahe). After Kepler's death, Isaac Newton developed his theory of gravity. Anybody who has enough geometry and calculus to give Gravity a good massage can show mathematically that IF gravity works the way Newton suggested it does, then the planets MUST move in the ways described by Kepler's Laws ... a nice confirmation of the work of both Newton and Kepler. These laws not only do a good job of describing how the planets move, but when we use Kepler's and Newton's formulas to figure out how to aim artificial satellites, Apollo capsules, and interplanetary probes to the outer solar system, those things always go where we want them to go ... more nice confirmation of the same theories. Oh yes. That's right. Both of them are "just theories".
Is Venus airless?
All planets in the solar system, besides earth, are airless. These planets are not able to contain human life.
What separates the terrestrial planets from the gas giants?
All terrestrial planets are able to maintain life, but the gas giants cannot.
Who kept record of the Sun Moon and planets for 20 years?
You may be thinking of Tycho Brahe. He spent a large part of life living alone, measuring the positions of the astronomical bodies and keeping written records of everything he saw and measured. (Note that this was all with his eyes ... he had no telescope.) Kepler took the notebooks and looked for patterns in the observations, and Man, what he found ! He was able to show that everything in Tycho's notebooks could be explained with three simple rules ... later called Kepler's Laws ... and assuming that all the planets move in orbits around the sun. A hundred years after Kepler, Sir Isaac Newton formulated a law of Gravity, and showed that if he understood gravity right, then gravity would cause Kepler's Laws !
Are alien's real and do they live on their own planet and have stuff like we do?
There are probably a billion stars in our galaxy, and probably a billion galaxies in the universe. We already know what there are planets orbiting many other stars; if there are planets around only 1% of the stars, that's still 100 billion planets. If only 1% of those planets are habitable, that's a billion habitable planets. If only 1% of those planets HAVE life, that's 10 million planets with life. If only 1% of the planets that have life have highly-developed life forms, then there are 100,000 planets with highly developed life forms. If only 1% of those planets have intelligent life, that's still 1,000 planets in the universe that have intelligent life; "aliens". We have NO IDEA if there are any other planets that have life, or intelligent life in the universe, or if those aliens - if any exist - might be willing or able to communicate with us. But I would like to think so.
