NASA Comes to Langley High
On Friday March 30, Langley High Students had a special speaker, NASA's Roger Hunter, Mission Manager for Project Kepler. The Kepler Mission, NASA Discovery mission #10, is specifically designed to survey our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover hundreds of Earth-size and smaller planets in or near the habitable zone and determine the fraction of the hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy that might have such planets. Since science operations began in May 2009, the Kepler team has released two catalogs of transiting planet candidates. So far, there are 2,321 candidates.
