Description: This image from NASA's Kepler Mission shows detail from the telescope's full field of view. At the center of this image is a star with a known "hot Jupiter" extrasolar planet, TrES-2b, orbiting around it every 2.5 days. The area pictured is one-thousandth of Kepler's full field of view, and shows hundreds of stars of the constellation Draco. The image has been color-coded so that brighter stars appear white, and fainter stars, red. It is a 60-second exposure, taken one day after the spacecraft's dust cover was jettisoned. Celestial north is to the left.
