Kepler telescope gives the last breath of life

The Kepler Space Telescope went into hibernation mode this week after the NASA team tasked with maneuvering the telescope received notice that Kepler's fuel tank was taking the last, said NASA in a statement. Friday.

Kepler, which was launched in 2009 in search of Earth-like planets, was on mission number 18. NASA plans to rest the telescope until August 2 when the telescope wakes up to aim to Earth and pbad on the data you have gathered in perhaps your last campaign of observation.

Nearly 10 years after its launch, Kepler was a very prolific telescope with a brilliant legacy, surviving not only his first mission but also a reincarnation. Meanwhile, he confirmed the existence of thousands of exoplanets

NASA is expecting Kepler to go out of fuel in the coming months.
