Hi all,

I'm an undergraduate Physics major looking to jump into Planetary. Through either a reasonably priced subscription, or free, and in paper or online, what would you suggest as a journal or professional level news aggregate for me to get the latest updates and literature in planetary science?

I'm essentially looking for some source of planetary news that is a little more professional/academic than popular science news outlets to follow, so I have things to write and think about for grad school.

For Space!

Should find out what journal your faculty advisor publishes in.

Have had a busy time since that week in January.

I've made phys.org my homepage, and really like the 2nd idea. Thanks!
 
Try scrolling through the astro-ph page on the ArXiv every day. Even if you just read the titles and abstracts, you will get a feeling for what people are working on and what progress is being made. If there is a really interesting paper, you can dig into it in more detail.
