Kepler Mission

One year ago, NASA's Kepler Mission soared into the dark night sky, leaving a bright glow in its wake as it began its search for other worlds like Earth. Following Kepler's spectacular nocturnal launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket at 7:49 p.m. PST on Friday, March 6, 2009, science team members whooped with joy. Since the search began, NASA's plucky exoplanet hunter has achieved significant success in its quest to answer the timeless question: 'Are we alone in our galaxy?'

let's say we find and can photgraph an ocean world 500 light years away...it takes that light to create the photo 500 years to get here...so we are seeing them in our year 1490!....if you took a photo of pre-industrial earth in 1490 you might not find the spainish and aztec empires!...so this still maybe misleading data on et-civ...

double and triple check all data...nasa+jpl are proven liars for the cover-up hundreds of times over!....trust no one!

thankyou!...i do backyard astronomy...i have 3 telescopes...i know how hard it is to see and find anything...i wonder if they ever hid the jackpot and find earthsize ocean world in habitual zone...i think they will cover it up and smear it into an x-file controversy...the false paradigmof denial againt ufos will attempt to trash and debunk the discovery...calling it a hoax! @ milwaukee
