Cool Physics #14: NASA's Kepler Mission

OK. So, it isn't really physics, but since I work in this discipline, and since it won the physics Nobel Prize, we'll call it "honorary physics".

I talk about the design and early results of NASA's Kepler Mission. I was a member of the science team for this mission (through the Participating Scientist Program).
