Before Kepler, we thought Earth was rare. After Kepler? We realized we might just be average—and that’s mind-blowing.In this episode, we explore the Kepler Space Telescope’s historic mission: how it discovered over 2,662 confirmed exoplanets and revealed that Earth-like worlds may be common in the galaxy. Learn how Kepler’s transit method revolutionized astronomy, what its most bizarre discoveries were—like Kepler-51’s puffiest planets—and how its legacy lives on in missions like TESS and the James Webb Space Telescope.Whether you're a space lover, sci-fi dreamer, or curious mind, this deep dive into Kepler’s discoveries shows just how close we might be to finding another Earth.
