Thanks to technology, today mankind has been able to seek deep space and explore the great wonders people often try to explore and discover. Thanks to the Kepler telescope that NASA uses to look up to space, we are able to peer into a universe formerly closed to us.

The Kepler scope has been functional for 16 months–a very little period of time, but it managed to find 2,326 potential planets. It took an investment of $600 Million to get it started six years ago. It has remarkably changed the way we look at the space today. What makes the telescope function is the program it uses called the “transit method” which searches for planets by detecting transits.

So when another planet blocks the light from the sun the Kepler detects the moving motion. Thanks to technology and fine scientists we get closer and closer to what once seemed impossible to reach the sky, the atmosphere, the deep dark space. To date, just over two dozen of these potential exo-planets have been confirmed, but scientists have estimated that at least 80 percent of the instrument’s discoveries should end up being the real interesting discoveries. So you know there will be more to come, more discoveries and more exploring will be done.

Before, nothing seemed real–but now that we have been informed, we must acknowledge it. We must keep exploring and seek towards our future and to what may seem unreal.
