| Exoplanets | chiefdanfox | 2/14/11 11:06 PM | I have an exoplanets kml based on the catalog maintained by Jean Schneider of the Paris Observatory Visual Exolanets Catalog. I was trying to find a similar current file, but had no luck, so I put one together. I did see a very nice but dated one, an |
| Re: Exoplanets | Markopolo | 2/14/11 11:35 PM | Very cool, very well done. Thanks! Just a thought: is this a dynamic data link so that as the catalog or website is updated, the .kmz file gets updated as well? I suspect new exoplanets are being added almost daily, this file is good for what it is |
| Re: Exoplanets | Hill (GEC moderator) | 2/15/11 8:18 AM | I like this! Thanks for adding it. being able to zoom in on the stars those planets orbit is much more meaningful than hearing the newest tally. I think it is important enough to add to the Google Sky Tools Collection. _________________________ Clic |
| Re: Exoplanets | chiefdanfox | 12/1/11 12:29 PM | I have been updating the file as practicable. |
| Re: Exoplanets | chiefdanfox | 12/1/11 12:37 PM | Does anyone know here to find a source for the WASP and CoRot RA DEC? |

As such, they have Lat/Long coordinate sets (28.762121 N 17.877700 W and 33.935357 S 18.477397 E, respectively) instead of RA/Dec coordinate sets. Right |
| Re: Exoplanets | judgelrae | 12/2/11 4:09 PM | Marko, I think ET has you there, with his Wiki links, he has answered the posters question. Remember the thread title. But your info was also very interesting. Happy Holidays Lrae_________________________ New Members | Basic Placemarks | Advanced P |
| Re: Exoplanets | Markopolo | 12/2/11 6:05 PM | Ohhh, I see. I didn't understand the question, apparently. Now I do, thanks. |

| Re: Exoplanets | Gregg1956 | 12/3/11 8:55 PM | As I said, I could be wrong. I actually saw the list of exoplanets on the wiki page, but since his kmz has several CoRoT objects already I didn't think that's what he was looking for. He seems to have a source for those. So I remain confused abou |
| Re: Exoplanets | chiefdanfox | 12/5/11 11:44 PM | This was exactly what I was looking for, and other than 7 COROT planets, both the wiki links are missing a number of the same RA DEC, but I thank all of you very much. It did not occur to me to check the wiki page. That is sort of embarrassing. Oh we |
