it has actually -- we had talked about kepler's discoveries every day in the planetarium because it not only tells us about 77 planets it's discovered and confirmed but found thousands of candidates that are potential planets and not just large planets like jupiter that are relatively easy to find. >> reporter: kepler is still out there. what they are going to do they are not quite sure. they can't send a space shuttle. it's too far away. we don't have a space shuttle anymore. they are going to try to come up with something in the next couple of weeks that involves using the two remaining wheels that are still operational and some of the thruster rockets to position it so that the mission can continue to 2016 when it's supposed to be done. reporting live from san francisco, i'm ken bastida, kpix 5. >>> a deer smashed through the front window of this bus in johnstown, pennsylvania, yesterday afternoon. and then how do you get out? the bus driver did stop the bus. the deer went running to the back went around in circles before figuring out where the door was. eventually he did scramble ar

the chief astronomer at franklin's institute planetarium is here.nk the chances are here of fixing this thing. >> it's hard to say at this moment because the engineers working on this are trying to characterize exactly what the problem is. once they figure out what the real problem is they might be able to figure a way to get what are called reaction wheels that keep the satellite in position, get them working again to continue the mission. if they can't do that then one of the things they have as an option is to go to doing a different kind of science that doesn't require such accurate targeting. jon: this thing is out there sort of like the hubble space telescope but it's specifically tasked with looking for other earth-like plants out there. >> yes i planets out there. >> it's done a fantastic job. it's looking at 150,000 stars trying to identify planets orbiting the stars doing this all at the tame time. it's been able to identify 2700 candidates and about 800 objects that appear as planets orbiting other stars. it's done a fantastic job so far.

i love your analogy, because i remember when we put in a planetarium some years ago, i watched with aelf, if only i could get that projected out of the computers, out of the ipads. i could have kids taking apart a human heart, putting it back together again, and they might get that inspiration from doing with the faculty, with the guided instruction, with all the things that daphne is talking about. so i do kind of keep the temperature on how quickly the technology is moving because i kind of feel like we are talking about blended learning in a sense of using what we have in coursera. certainly the forefront of the moocs but i think the technology movement so quickly that the face-to-face interaction and the quality of the pedagogy question, all of those will be changing over time while we're trying to do all of this. >> right. daffy? >> i would like to take this question of access and take a more global perspective on this. 40% of our students are in the developing world. a lot of the students are extremely motivated. they just don't have access because it just does not exist in the
