Kepler the special Telescope with its 95 million pixel Camera,
Launches from Canaveral, tonight (March 6th)
It will be looking at the same area in the Milky Way for some 4 years or more. Detecting Earth size planets for life.
These Planets will be found by Kepler observing the winking of
these small planets, going behind their Sun, or from the lights of an advanced Civilisation.
Kepler is so sensitive it can detect a single outside light being switched off in a small town, from space.

At the end of 3 years, Kepler should be able to tell us whether there are thousands of planets with life on them, or very very few...to non-at-all.
