Unveiling the Universe: A Comprehensive Review of the Kepler Mission's Exoplanet Discoveries

Abstract

NASA's 2009 launch of the Kepler Mission has fundamentally changed our knowledge of exoplanetary systems by revealing hundreds of planets outside of our solar system and offering previously unheard-of information into their features and frequency. It is specifically made to survey our part of the Milky Way galaxy in order to find hundreds of planets the size of Earth or smaller in the habitable zone or close to it, as well as to calculate the percentage of our galaxy's hundreds of billions of stars that may potentially host planets of this kind. It is specifically made to survey our part of the Milky Way galaxy in order to find hundreds of planets the size of Earth or smaller in the habitable zone or close to it, as well as to calculate the percentage of our galaxy's hundreds of billions of stars that may potentially host planets of this kind.The diversity of planets and planetary systems is being investigated by the Kepler Mission. The library of findings it left behind will be adequate to calculate planet occurrence rates based on factors including size, orbital period, star type, and insolation flux. The mission is getting closer to accomplishing its objective.
