Default I Hope the Kepler Space Telescrope finds Hundreds More Earth Type Planets...

No telescope, including Kepler, can see any planets orbiting stars.

Such planets are detected indirectly, via either, very slight star
wobbles, or very slicht eclipse changes in star brightnesses.

Don't need Kepler to do this.
