Scientific paper

The Kepler mission is generating an unprecedented set of lightcurves for stars, with the best precision and coverage ever achieved. Not surprisingly, there have been many new phenomena seen. Some of these we think we understand, and some remain mysterious. We present a short sampler of some of these, both as individual cases, and also certain classes of variables. In addition to variability in the stars, there are substantial instrumental effects. We discuss our current understanding and ability to correct for these (which are different from quarter to quarter), and what sorts of stellar variability cannot currently be confidently measured.
