This is neat, isn't it? They should continue the program past next November if they can. We're just starting to find out about the planets out there beyond our solar system.

It amazes me all of the stuff they can tell about it. Its size, its distance from its sun and the average surface temp.
How many space based telescopes do we have up now? Isn't it just one? Just think when they put several up and connect them.

The 2 I'm thinking of are Hubble & Keppler.
Didn't Hubble come back to Earth?

The page was last modified in October of last year.
Wow, there are a lot of them up there and my guess is that none of them are working together.
