The Kepler telescope has certainly earnt it's keep, the discoveries keep coming. I saw the Mercury transit on TV and to watch the scale of it compared to the sun is certainly mind blowing.:)

On another note, Jupiter is high in the sky at the moment and I dusted off the trusty telescope and had a look at it after sundown tonight,:) it certainly is an impressive sight with its four moons.
