While known for their breakthrough discoveries in exoplanets - especially small rocky worlds orbiting in the habitable zone of their host suns - these missions have also continued to make numerous scientific advances in solar system science, stellar astrophysics and extragalactic astronomy. This book is devoted to the Kepler and K2 missions and covers the tremendous new discoveries made in the areas of spacecraft engineering, asteroseismology, binary and variable stars, stellar astrophysics, white dwarfs, asteroids and comets, active galaxies, supernovae, black holes, and of course exoplanets of all types. It is suitable for the interested layperson, pupils of science and space missions, and advanced science students and researchers wishing for an introduction and highly focused memoir of the NASA Kepler mission and its amazing accomplishments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides an introduction to advanced science presentations on all major mission topics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by the scientists who made the discoveries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes engineering and spacecraft discussions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes the effects of the mission on science and the world, integrating many of the major discoveries and their graphics, movies, and materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes side boxes of interest, for example exoplanet naming conventions and perspectives from noted scientists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve B.
