Hello kind of new to this newsgroup thing, if this post is annoying I
apologise in advance.
Does anyone know a newsgroup that is devoted entirely to Extra Solar
Planets.

Participants wanted for the Daventry Nova Survey - I am looking for a
maximum of 20 people to take observing roles in the second phase of
the Daventry Nova Survey.
Please visit http://www.icrar.org/website/nova.htm for further

smoke cloud approaches the main village, thousands are attempting to

When a star collapses, the gravity itself eventually transitions into
dark energy (repulsive), supporting a surface at the diameter where you
would expect a black hole event horizon to form.  But no black hole.  A

I'm looking for somewhere on the net that has images of star clusters
taken at different times (maybe every 5-10 years). I intend to look at
stellar motion within clusters, so the images would have to be of
fairly high resolution.

Can anyone suggest any reasonable astronomical ephemeris libraries?
Preferably ones suitable for linking to from C code, and ideally free.
I'm hoping to write some code behind a database to do certain things.
Essentially I'd need to be able to predict positions of planets and
