The Exoplanet Catalog

I've followed with interest the discoveries of planets outside the solar system; but I had no idea that astronomers had discovered quite so many.

The Exoplanet Catalog is a helpful listing (complete with details and animations!) of all the planets so far discovered. And there are a lot.

I get a real geeky pleasure of the thought that, at last, there are enough planets that we need a guidebook to keep them straight.
