Four centuries ago, Johannes Kepler established three laws of planetary motion that accurately describe how planets in the ...

Research breakthroughs are often sagas of passion, curiosity and sacrifice. If Trump’s proposed budget cuts for 2026 are ...

Astronomers studying data from NASA's retired Kepler space telescope discovered a new system of seven "scorching" planets orbiting a distant star that is bigger and hotter than the sun ...

Detecting this decline required many years of careful observation. The watch started with Kepler and then was picked up by the Palomar Observatory’s Hale Telescope in Southern California and finally ...

Over half were discovered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, a resilient observatory that far outlasted its original planned mission. Over nine and a half years, the spacecraft trailed the Earth ...

As with many space telescope missions, Kepler's dataset is open to the public. NASA maintains a database with the raw data collected during the space telescope's observations, and researchers are ...

The distant world was already famous in astronomical circles as the first exoplanet candidate spotted by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, which discovered thousands of planets beyond our solar ...

Fortunately, it's not our only orbital telescope. The Kepler Space Telescope, named for astronomer Johannes Kepler, was NASA's first exoplanet hunting telescope. It launched on March 6 ...

The research team set out to study Kepler-51d, the third planet in the system, with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) but almost missed their chance when the planet unexpectedly passed in ...

Since Kepler lacked the telescope, he instead examined the sun using camera obscura. That method used a "small hole in a wall to project the sun's image onto a sheet of paper," the statement noted.

That means that Kepler's famed schematic drawing diagrammed in ... rather than at the beginning of a new one (solar cycle-14). Later telescope observations during the new cycle placed the sunspots ...

The watch started with Kepler and then was picked up by the Palomar Observatory’s Hale Telescope in Southern California and finally the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Telescope, or TESS ...
