SEEKING OUT NEW WORLDS: KEPLER READY TO LAUNCH TODAY
----------------------------------------------------
In a galaxy of 200 billion or more stars, one could
argue planets like Earth must be common. NASA plans
to take a major step toward answering that question,
one way or the other, with launch of a Delta 2 rocket
today carrying Kepler, a sophisticated satellite
equipped with one of the most powerful digital
cameras ever flown in space.
