Greetings. The last version I have of extrasolar.ssc is dated 04/25/07. I've searched here and elsewhere, and haven't found a more recent. Is there one?

Perhaps this thread could be used to track future versions as they're released; I had a hard time sifting topic descriptions for the file.

Thanks for any updates,

- Heath

There's already an interesting update of the extrasolar.ssc, made yesterday by Grant on CVS. 5 new exoplanets (since the previous update made less than a month ago) !

I'm using a small script to show all the stars with exoplanets, and it's beginning to look pretty messy, around Sol

To get the update, just look on this page :

That's wonderful! Yes, some means to quickly spot the systems with planets would be handy. To explore my normal method is to step through the text of extrasolar.scc and type them in, bookmarking them one by one.

Thanks & here's to future updates,

How about posting the script?

Runar, you asked for it. So beware of the large code below.

I could use a much smaller, Vincent's style script, but then it would also select all the stars with SF/fantasy planets or with accretion disks, pulsars with jets, etc. So I don't have a choice if I want to show stars with real exoplanets only.

Great, thank you!
