How long until Nancy gets a hold of this news? I'll give her a week.

I have no idea. Wouldn't suprise me if she was already preaching that we have found out about Planet X and that it has a system of planets around it. oy :roll:

Imagine what would happen if planets were detected on Zeta Reticuli! :lol:

So far nothing yet (http://www.obspm.fr/encycl/cat1.html) (unless the catalog uses an HD reference instead of 'Zeta Reticuli').

Oh joy, more fuel for the fire.....

Not by HD number either. The Zeta Reticuli system is HD 20766 and HD 20807.

Thanks Dana_Mix. Do you know of any links where I can find the HD number for various systems? My quick search couldn't find the HD number for ZetaR, so it would be useful to have for when I look at the planet catalog.

TriangleMan,

I found zetar in a yahoo search. For HD numbers you could look for the star in

here (http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/constellation_list.html) ZetaR wasn't in that list. Go the this list (http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/sim-fid.pl) if you know the common name or coordinates. It doesn't work for all of the names. Hipparcos (http://astro.estec.esa.nl/hipparcos/research.html) has it all if you know or can narrow down coordinates. But usually you should try searching first.[/url]

Thanks muchly :)
