The Economist (which has excellent science articles), published a three page, free content feature article: "The Exoplanet Hunters: http://www.economist.com/business/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9254050 about one week ago. It is written in a clear, interesting, exciting way that was pleasure to read. In addition, the article had a free content companion article: "When Worlds Collide" http://www.economist.com/business/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9254043 that pointed to a Nature article of which I was not aware, that is relevant to my work too. Both articles recommended highly! On this topic. The Economist (which has excellent science articles), published a three page, free content feature article: “The Exoplanet Hunters:
