Exploring the Unknown: The Search for Earth-like Exoplanets

[El Hombre Invisible]

Hi again, one and all. Been a while.

As part of my 'scientific communications skills' malarky at uni we have to produce myriad things (review article, powerpoint, governmental brief, etc, etc) on the subject of the search for extrasolar planets. We're focusing (probably) largely on the search for Earth-like planets or moons in solar systems other than our own. It's at very early stages at the moment and we're largely just collating as much information on the subject as possible. No real problems, but I thought if anyone knew of any sources that were particularly special they might push me in the right direction, just in case we miss it.

Thanks in advance,

El Hombre

Thanks EM. Will be starting this very shortly so it'll come in very handy.
