“…2012, when the telescope completed its initial mission and prepared for a four-year extension. We are again offering this look at its best work, along with a few updated exoplanets it found in the meantime. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/11/kepler-telescopes-greatest-hits/ ”

“…discovery has prompted a teaming up of Kepler and SETI in the hunt for transmitting extraterrestrials. At least five worlds are known to be orbiting Kepler-62. Two of the exoplanets, dubbed Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f, are located within the star’s habitable zone with orbital periods of 122 and 267 days, respectively. And it gets even better. Both planets… ”

No, not the weekend beverage of choice, but the relativistic BEaming, Ellipsoidal, and Reflection/emission modulations algorithm. This new way of finding exoplanets was… ”
