Kepler

Kepler is a space telescope
Launched from Earth in two thousand nine
To go orbit the sun in hope
Of finding planets by design
That maybe could have life like Earth.
So Kepler scanned the Milky Way
Finding information of worth,
Sending back a cosmic array.
Toward the end of twenty eighteen,
After nine years a useful tool,
Kepler did retire from the scene,
Having at last run out of fuel.

Kepler orbits in outer flight,
Asleep as NASA bid "Good night."
