Does Kepler take pictures of the sky like Hubble? Pick the option that best describes how operation of Kepler differs from Hubble and why this is critical for detecting planets via the transit method.
A. Kepler doesn’t take high-quality images like Hubble, its images are blurry but optimized for detecting the small changes in light from a planetary transit.
B. Kepler takes high-quality images like Hubble but is optimized to filter out light from planets that cannot support life.
C. Kepler does not take pictures at all, it senses light via orbital inclination which it uses to reconstruct planetary orbits.
