Here's a new resource, from down Puerto Rico way:

http://phl.upr.edu/projects/habitable-exoplanets-catalog

Considering that they're tied into the Arecibo operation, this might be fair game for keeping bookmarked alongside exoplanet.eu, SIMBAD, and a few others besides.

Related question that I've been meaning to ask elsewhere: Has the exoplanet portion of the Celestia core database been updated yet?

Kepler-22b, to be precise! Right in the "Goldilocks zone" of its parent star.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] james_nicoll for the heads-up on this one!

A thousand more worlds to learn of, to dream of.

More than that, apparently!

New stuff being released by the Kepler team via Facebook and Twitter further expands upon this, so you may want a look at that. Also, you may want to check this page out:

There are PDF and PowerPoint downloads available there if you're of a mind and have the bandwidth room available or sufficient patience with dial-up speeds. (More on that subject in another post!)
