What We Learned from the Kepler Space Telescope - SciShow News

In October, NASA celebrated successes and farewells in space exploration. The Hubble and Chandra satellites were repaired, while the Kepler Space Telescope and Dawn Mission ended due to fuel depletion. Kepler, launched in 2009, discovered over 2,700 exoplanets, revealing the diversity of our galaxy. Dawn, launched in 2007, explored the asteroid belt, providing insights into planetary formation.
