     Poking around in the ray-tracing newsgroup (I play with POV-Ray from
     time to

     time, so I like to look through this group) I found references to
     science

     fiction art at http://www.rainbo.com/people/alextoader. I am signed on
     to my

     account remotely now, and just have Lynx available, so I can't look at
     them

     at this time. But if you're interested, you have the address now.

     If you are looking for articles on a particular branch of astronomy, try
     the

     search engine at http://adsabs.harvard.edu. I was able to look up recent

     articles on the evolution of heavy element abundances in galaxies with
     very

     little difficulty. (Since the abundance of heavy elements is greater in
     the

     inner parts of the disk of a spiral galaxy than in the parts of the disk

     farther out, I have been wondering if planets would tend to form first
     in the

     inner parts of the disk and then farther and farther out. Now I can get
     some

     real information on this.)

     The global library long predicted in SF stories has arrived.
