Stuff that the Kepler telescope has discovered besides planets
Looks like Kepler is proving to be an amazing instrument for discovering
other things besides just planets. It's found stars that were previously thought to be single stars were really binaries or trinaries. It's found some stars brightening due to starquakes, etc. They also mentioned that there is a successor to Kepler planned by the ESA, called Plato, which should be even more capable.
