last friday night, a spectacular launch took place at the kennedy space center. a rocket carrying the kepler telescope ascended into space, on a mission to search for earth-like planets orbiting in the habitable zone of other stars. kepler's telescope and large, sensitive camera will examine a rich star field near the plane of our milky way galaxy.
call me a space monkey, but this is pretty exciting stuff ! !
I read about that too, sounds amazing. I hope the telescope brings back news. I am glad to see there is someone else out there interested!
ReplyDeleteyou bet, frank. amid all the economic and political gloom and doom, this launch is a refreshing change. thanks for leaving a comment.
