  2. Kepler space telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_space_telescope

    The Kepler space telescope is a defunct space telescope launched by NASA in 2009 [5] to discover Earth-sized planets orbiting other stars. [6] [7] Named after astronomer Johannes Kepler, [8] the spacecraft was launched into an Earth-trailing heliocentric orbit.

  3. Schmidt camera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_camera

    The spherical mirror used in this telescope was extremely accurate; if scaled up to the size of the Atlantic Ocean, bumps on its surface would be about 10 cm high. [16] The Kepler photometer, mounted on NASA's Kepler space telescope (2009–2018), is the largest Schmidt camera launched into space.

  4. Refracting telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refracting_telescope

    The Keplerian telescope, invented by Johannes Kepler in 1611, is an improvement on Galileo's design. [12] It uses a convex lens as the eyepiece instead of Galileo's concave one. The advantage of this arrangement is that the rays of light emerging from the eyepiece [ dubious – discuss ] are converging.

    At this point, most space enthusiasts and insiders have said their goodbyes to the Kepler spacecraft. We've known for months that it's very low on fuel, and its planet-hunting replacement, TESS ...

  7. Kepler photometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_photometer

    The Kepler photometer is the main instrument on NASA's Kepler space telescope. It is a Schmidt telescope (95 cm clear aperture, 140 cm mirror) with an array of 42 2200x1024 CCDs in the focal plane; each CCD is flat, but they are mounted on a curved structure to account for the curved focal plane. The CCDs are not abutting, so the focal plane is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_telescope...

    1630 — Christoph Scheiner constructs a telescope to Kepler's design. 1650 — Christiaan Huygens produces his design for a compound eyepiece. 1663 — Scottish mathematician James Gregory designs a reflecting telescope with paraboloid primary mirror and ellipsoid secondary mirror. Construction techniques at the time could not make it, and a ...

    An artist's rendition of Kepler-62f, a potentially habitable exoplanet discovered using data transmitted by the Kepler space telescope. The list of exoplanets detected by the Kepler space telescope contains bodies with a wide variety of properties, with significant ranges in orbital distances, masses, radii, composition, habitability, and host star type.
