Welcome to Mangaupdates.com first ever Exoplanet and Stellar Astronomy discussion and faq thread.
For those that do not know exoplanets are basically planets astronomers have detected outside our solar system that are orbiting other stars.
Rules: Basically we ask each other questions about astronomy, post links to cools stuff, and other people try to answer them. As long as you obey the forum rules, not question is too taboo or unusual to talk about. Every so often, I will try to post links to great resources that can help you learn astronomy or more about exoplanets ;3

Primary Links
exoplanet.eu <=== a catelog I will often site as the best and one of the oldest reasources to look up. Its basically though a site made by astronomers for astronomers

http://www.quora.com/What-are-some-good-websites-and-resources-to-learn-about-astronomy-astrophysics?redirected_qid=351866 <== the most comprehensive list of interactives and websites geared to astronomy research and education.

http://www.astronomy.gatech.edu/ <== My professor Website. His course material is actually pretty good for self learning, if only he didn't take it down every semester. Still he has a lot of great links.

Videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3YG-5f9kPU <== great lecture on the properties of exoplanets ;3

Do anyone want to dicuss something recent they read? Does anyone have any questions or concerns about something related to stars or exoplanets?
