Where can I learn more about extrasolar planets?
All popular astronomy magazines regularly carry articles about extrasolar planets, too. Magazines like Sky and Telescope or Astronomy are examples. There are also a wide variety of astronomy clubs across the country and internationally. A partial list can be found on the Griffith Observatory website, which is obviously slanted towards Southern California, but does contain links for farther afield. We like the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopedia . This site has a technical focus, but it summarizes all the measurements and scientific work. If you want to go straight to the source on any particular planet, or if you want to get lists of planet properties or generate plots of planet properties, this site is one-stop shopping. Some of the major observational programs also maintain websites where you can get up-to-date information. These include the California & Carnegie group and the Geneva group. An excellent website describing the present and future NASA plans for studying extrasolar planets
