Scientific paper

NASA's Kepler spacecraft launched successfully on 2009 March 6. Its mission is to find the first rocky Earth-like planets orbiting stars other than the Sun. In particular, Kepler will measure the frequency of rocky planets in the galaxy, determining whether our solar system is rare, typical, or something in between. I will discuss the current state of scientific knowledge about extrasolar planets, how Kepler will contribute, and what we might learn about those planets that we find in the coming years.
