I was over a the library and reading Science magazine I found this site
http://www.wikisky.org/ mind you I don't think it is as cool as Celestia it still is an interesting site. Read the Getting Started first to learn the controls.

I will see if the owners would like to link or tie into Celestia.

Enjoy

I like the references it gives to research papers about the topics. Some of the material is out of date though. I still prefer Celestia anyday =D. It's by far the best astronomy software I've ever played around with (except for stellar atmospheres seem to be missing).
Current Setup:
Windows 7 64 bit. Celestia 1.6.0.
AMD Athlon Processor, 1.6 Ghz, 3 Gb RAM
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics

I am not entirely sure what you are asking.

Are you asking for posts reguarding the speculation of life? If so, I'm sure there are speculations all over this forum. You can use the search tool to find what you're looking for.

Are you asking for posts reguarding fictional life? If so, there's lots of that in the add-ons being created.

Are you wanting information about real life in other, real solar systems? If so...

... so are we.

Does that re-answer your question(s) sufficiently?
