This is a purely self-indulgent blog in which I can, if I feel like so doing, comment on matters of public and private import.

Extrasolar Planets

Extrasolar Planets

During our trip to France, we attended a fascinating evening at the St Michel Observatoire on the theme of "Exoplanetes", the French word for planets in other solar systems. Apparently, the Swiss were the first to discover another true planetary system, back in 1995. Since then, about 130 more have been found.

This link is to PlanetQuest, the Nasa site dedicated to the search for planets in other systems.
