Answer:

Unlike the Hubble Space Telescope, which orbits Earth, Kepler has been placed in what's called an "Earth trailing" orbit around the sun

Explanation:

Kepler orbits the Sun, which avoids Earth occultations, stray light, and gravitational perturbations and torques inherent in an Earth orbit. NASA has characterized Kepler's orbit as "Earth-trailing". With an orbital period of 372.5 days, Kepler is slowly falling farther behind Earth (about 16 million miles per annum).
