NASA is reviving its planet-hunting Kepler telescope

NASA’s famous planet-hunting Kepler telescope has been on the ropes for almost a year after spinning out of control. But the resilient Earth ambassador hasn’t given up, and NASA on Friday announced a mission to revive the beloved craft has been approved. There’s a pretty great infographic explaining how Kepler will be resuscitated—an idea of which was actually recommended by the public—that you can check out at the source. With two additional years of funding, NASA’s Kepler can continue to do what it was born to do—and maybe help researchers find even more Earth-like planets.
