definition Kepler Space Telescope was a NASA astronomy probe launched in 2009 to search for Earth-sized exoplanets by monitoring brightness variations in over 100,000 stars in the Cygnus-Lyra region. It continuously observed the same star-field for multiple transits of planets in orbits up to one year, utilizing a photometer with a 12-degree field of view. The mission lasted 3.5 years and significantly contributed to exoplanet discovery before becoming defunct.
