Why are the new planets called Kepler?
The new planets are named after the Kepler Space Telescope, which was a NASA mission that searched for exoplanets using the transit method. The telescope discovered thousands of exoplanets during its mission.
Who discovered planet Kepler?
The Kepler Space Observatory, named after astronomer Johannes Kepler, was launched by NASA in 2009 to search for exoplanets. The telescope discovered thousands of new planets using the transit method, where a planet passing in front of its star causes a temporary decrease in brightness.
What can you find in space?
In space, you can find various celestial objects such as stars, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and nebulae. Space also contains dark matter, which is mysterious because it does not emit, absorb, or reflect light. Additionally, space exploration has discovered black holes, pulsars, quasars, and other intriguing phenomena.
What are the planets that live in space?
Planets do not live. They are inorganic material. The planets that exist in our solar system from closest to the sun to the furthest are... Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Beyond Neptune there are many planetoids including Pluto (which used to be considered a planet) We have discovered many other planets orbiting other stars, but I don't know all the names that have been given to them.
What do you call the space between planets?
The space between planets is known as interplanetary space. It is mostly vacuum but can contain small amounts of particles and gases.
How many planets have been discovered in space?

What was surprising about the extrasolar planets that were discovered?
The surprising thing to me is how MANY extra-solar planets have been discovered. Considering the limitations of the Kepler Space Telescope's design, this indicates that there may be planets around a majority of the stars.

Does the planet Kepler really exist?
There is a bit of confusion here. Kepler is not the name of a planet but of a space telescope used to discover planets in other solar systems. Planets discovered with this telescope are given designations such as Kepler-22b. This telescope has been used to discovered hundreds of planets.

Is Kepler smaller than Jupiter?
There is no planet named Kepler. Kepler is the name of a space telescope used to find planets in other solar systems. Planets discovered with this method are given designations such as Kepler 22-b. Some planets discovered have been larger than Jupiter.
What have telescopes discovered and found out?
Telescopes have helped discover many things in space that are not visible such as some of the outer planets of our solar system.
Does every planet have 3 layers?
Some planets are made completely of layers of thick gases. Also space exploration has not progressed enough to a point where the layers of other planets have been discovered.
How do the planets and moons get named?
Most planets/moons can be legally named if they are discovered by someone. This means standing in front of a telescope and staring out into space until you find something, everyone else has missed...
