Abstract

The Kepler space telescope was conceived as an exoplanet statistics mission, but it turned out to be so much more. It has revolutionized many aspects of stellar astrophysics, ranging from pulsating stars to binaries and cataclysmic variables. Moreover, it has matured the field of asteroseismology, and, to quote Arthur Eddington from a century ago, finally allowed us to "obtain certain knowledge of that which is hidden beneath substantial barriers:" the insides of stars. In this short review, I present a few examples of the ways we achieved these breakthroughs.
