- Kepler Space Telescope (WeeklyReader.com)
"For the past 2.5 years, the Kepler space telescope has been scanning a star field of more than 100,000 stars in the Milky Way galaxy, searching for Earth-like exoplanets. The specially designed telescope is a photometer, or a light meter. It is nearly 1 meter in diameter and has a much larger field of view than most astronomical telescopes." 02-12
