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.
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.
This is a partial list of exoplanets discovered by the Kepler space telescope, running from star number 1 through 500, inclusive. Table keys ...
NASA's Kepler Space Telescope has been hard at work scanning the universe for planetary bodies and has now confirmed a whopping 104 of them outside our ... are orbiting the M dwarf star K2-72 ...
This is a list of exoplanets observed during the Kepler space telescope's K2 mission. On 31 March 2022, K2-2016-BLG-0005Lb was reported to be the most distant exoplanet found by Kepler to date. [1] [2]
The Ecliptic Plane Input Catalog (or EPIC) is a publicly searchable database of stars and planets that is associated with the K2 "Second Light" plan of the Kepler space telescope mission. [1] [2] [3] Examples of related stars include: EPIC 201563164, EPIC 204278916, EPIC 204376071 and EPIC 249706694.
A Kepler object of interest (KOI) is a star observed by the Kepler space telescope that is suspected of hosting one or more transiting planets.KOIs come from a master list of 150,000 stars, which itself is generated from the Kepler Input Catalog (KIC).
Kepler-452b (sometimes quoted to be an Earth 2.0 or Earth's Cousin [4] [5] based on its characteristics; also known by its Kepler object of interest designation KOI-7016.01) is a candidate [6] [7] super-Earth exoplanet orbiting within the inner edge of the habitable zone of the sun-like star Kepler-452 and is the only planet in the system discovered by the Kepler space telescope.
