It was a long weekend for Kepler and the team, but the spacecraft has been recovered! :) http://www.nasa.gov/feature/mission-manager-update-kepler-spacecraft-in-emergency-mode …pic.twitter.com/Jaek5HZGTH

During a scheduled contact on Thurs, 4/7, Kepler was discovered in emergency mode. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/mission-manager-update-kepler-spacecraft-in-emergency-mode …pic.twitter.com/tfhG77bIqK

Studies say free-floating exoplanets may outnumber stars in our galaxy. Go #K2Mission! http://www.nasa.gov/feature/ames/kepler/searching-for-far-out-and-wandering-worlds …pic.twitter.com/31hFlOHZAx

Where will the spacecraft look for these wandering worlds? The Galactic Center. #K2mission http://www.nasa.gov/feature/ames/kepler/searching-for-far-out-and-wandering-worlds …pic.twitter.com/nrKA8NbDB6

Today #K2mission kicks off a new campaign: searching for starless free-floating exoplanets! http://www.nasa.gov/feature/ames/kepler/searching-for-far-out-and-wandering-worlds …pic.twitter.com/Q35ZzUnrw2
