Initially, it found many planets but faced challenges in finding Earth-like planets due to assumptions about stellar noise. Kepler's mission was extended, and despite technical issues, it continued to find exoplanets. The mission paved the way for future telescopes like TESS and PLATO, which aim to find Earth's twin.
