"It was all fraud, " said Dirk Becker, a banking analyst at Frankfurt-based Kepler Equities.
They orbit the Kepler-62 star in the Constellation Lyra - 1, 200 light-years from Earth.
Johannes Kepler leapt from astrology to astronomy and seriously showed how the moon drove tides.
Kepler shut itself down after it was pointing in the wrong direction, Sobeck said.
The second was named after the German astronomer Johannes Kepler and launched in 2011.

The Kepler satellite was designed to look for planets around each of about 100, 000 stars.
The second, Kepler-35b, orbits a set of twin stars about 5, 400 light years away.
We really don't know what sort of composition a planet the size of Kepler-22b would have.
To be Earthlike, you also need a sun like ours and Kepler-22b has that.
In the two and a half years since its launch, Kepler has spotted 2, 326 candidate planets.
The star is currently called Kepler 37, and the small world is currently designated Kepler-37b.

Kepler-10b, to give this planet's current name, is the latest discovery by Kepler, an American spacecraft.

The system, which right now is designated Kepler-47, is located about 4, 900 light years from Earth.

The first, called Kepler-34b, orbits its two small stars in a system about 4, 900 light-years from Earth.
Kepler unified this dichotomy, demanding physically coherent explanations as to why planets sometimes went faster than other times.
"There's a lot of potential here, " said Doug Kepler, vice president of environmental engineering at Seneca Resources Corp.
Europe's space freighter, Johannes Kepler, has been blasted into orbit by an Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana.
Kepler works by monitoring the thousands of stars in its field of view for tiny changes in brightness.

Scientists such as Newton, Kepler and ibn-Sina saw their work to understand the universe as one of worship.

Kepler completed its primary three-and-a-half year mission last November, Nasa says, and is now in an extended mission phase.
Two of the planets (Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f) orbit a K2 dwarf estimated to be around 7 billion years old.

So Kepler's reaction wheels are essential for pointing the spacecraft accurately and steadily.
It is 70% larger than the Earth and orbits Kepler 69 once every 242 days -- very like Venus.
Kepler-22b was thought to have a temperature similar to that of Earth, according to modeling by Borucki and colleagues.
This is a contrast from many of the exoplanets discovered using Kepler, which exhibit much more bizarre orbital behavior.
FORBES: Astronomers Discover A Solar System Similar To Our Own
She used to be part of the Kepler team but is now independent.
Unlike the others, which skirt the edges of their stars' Goldilocks zones, Kepler 22b orbits comfortably within its own.
Its sun, Kepler-30, is similar in mass and brightness to our own sun.
