Deep in the mountains of Greece, the country's most-wanted man has been on the run for over a decade.

He's a bank robber, a kid napper, but to many Greeks, he's a hero.

His name is Vasili Spaliokostas and we're on the trail of the man behind the men, a modern-day Robin Hood

who steals from the rich and gives to the poor.

Welcome to Tech Stuff, a production from iHeartRadio.

Hey there and welcome to Tech Stuff.

I'm your host, Jonathan Strickland.

I'm an executive producer with iHeartRadio and how the tech are ya.

It is time for a classic episode of Tech Stuff.

This episode is titled How the Kepler Telescope Works.

And it published on June 8th, 2016.

Enjoy.

In May 2016, researchers with the Kepler mission at NASA held a press conference in which they announced the largest number of exoplanets verified ever at a single event.

And that was 1284 verified exoplanets.

Previously, from 2009 up to that point, the mission had identified and verified 984 planets.

So this announcement was more than doubling the number of exoplanets verified.

That's incredible.

So an exoplanet, just the case you don't know, is of course a planet that is orbiting another star, not the sun.

So it's planets in other star systems, solar systems that are light years away from us.

And it was a really cool thing to hear about all these different exoplanets that had just been verified.

And what I thought was hilarious was leading up to this announcement, you had several news outlets that were guessing what was gonna happen.
