Finding stars like our sun that may have planets ( A )

Explanation:

The Kepler space Telescope was made by the NASA to help them identify planets that are of the size of the earth which are habitable and located around the habitable zone/nearby the stars in the galaxy.

The Kepler space Telescope returns data to the scientists that help the scientists determine the presence of a planet. one way the Kepler telescope works is by capturing the repeated dimming of a star that has a planet around its habitable zone. and this tells the scientist that a planet is around the corner.
