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?

Why was Kepler important to the renaissance?

Johannes Kepler was one of the most important scientist in the field of astronomy. He was the founder of "celestial mechanics", having been the first to explain planetary motion. In addition to his theories on the structure of the Universe, Kepler made important headway into the field of optics, his publication Stereometrica Doliorum formed the basis of integral calculus, and he also made important advances in geometry. In addition to these major breakthroughs, Kepler also explained how the tides were influenced by the Moon, with help from: http://www.johanneskepler.com/
