Cool pic right, if you are a space fan...

Its got the suns and planets with their orbits and everything. Totally awesome, to think we gained all this information from a single telescope on a nine year mission.

One of the great firsts was this: Kepler 16

        Wow, this phenomenal. The binary star system is extraordinary! I wonder what it would be like to look up and see two stars in the sky? Imagine the incredible sun sets!
