In addition to the discovery and characterization of hundreds of planetary candidates, NASA's Kepler mission has opened a new regime in time-domain photometry. Kepler's high-precision, high-cadence, long-term photometric monitoring has the potential to unveil a number of previously unseen and likely unforeseen astrophysical events. We report on the discovery of one such event which is associated with a hierarchical stellar triple. We describe the results of an analysis of Kepler data that determined the bulk parameters for this system and comment on the implications from this analysis related to stellar structure, dynamics, and evolution. Kepler was selected as the 10th mission of the Discovery Program. Funding for this mission is provided by NASA, Science Mission Directorate.
