Let's talk planets!!

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/kepler/news/kepler_data_release.html

5 near Earth-like planets in their habzones! Extrapolating from our own solar system, at least one of those should be closer to an Earth than a Venus or Mars.

Can someone tell me which way Kepler is pointed? Is it looking inwards toward the galactic center, or along a tangent to Sol's radius from the galactic center?
