Kepler Calculates his Conception
1571 German astronomer Johannes Kepler, by his own calculations, is conceived at 4:37 AM
> > > Clint’s comment: Back to one of my favourite subjects, sort of, space. Kepler’s name was given to a telescope. Launched by NASA in March 2009, the Kepler space telescope was a pioneering mission designed to survey a portion of the Milky Way to discover Earth-sized planets orbiting other stars. During its 9.5-year mission, Kepler confirmed over 2,600 exoplanets, revolutionising our understanding of the galaxy by showing that planets are more common than stars
