Description: The Kepler space telescope has had a profound impact on our understanding of the number of worlds that exist beyond our solar system. Through its survey, we’ve discovered there are more planets than stars in our galaxy. As a farewell to the spacecraft, we asked some of people closest to Kepler to reflect on what Kepler has meant to them and its finding of “more planets than stars.” Video credit: NASA/Ames Research Center Learn more: nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-retires-kepler-space-telescope-passes-planet-hunting-torch This video can be downloaded from the NASA Image and Video Library at: images.nasa.gov/details-ARC-20181114-AAV3150-KeplerEOF-Reflections-NASAWeb.html NASA's Ames Research Center is located in California's Silicon Valley.
