The door is open and waiting, explore your next frontier!

Kepler's Discovery

Step into the workings of our solar system at keplersdiscovery.com, the first of our science tutorials. Learn how Johannes Kepler investigated the movements of the planets to upend humanity's understanding of its place in the universe.

Explanations, illustrations, animations, and interactions await!
