The search for extrasolar planets is one of the most popular and rapidly developing topics in astronomy today. Taking part in the 'hunt' means being involved in not only the discovery of strange new worlds, but also in finding the answer to one of humanity's most sought-after questions - are we alone in the universe? This category aims to list websites that provide compelling information on the exciting search for small bodies orbiting other stars.
