On 30th October, the Kepler spacecraft was powered down, initiating the final closeout sequence to cease operations.  We'll pay homage to the mission by playing back some of the science highlights.  We'll also consider Kepler's exoplanet legacy - what it leaves behind and what roles it yet has to play in the next era of exoplanet exploration led by TESS and JWST.
