JeffPo's Other Astronomy Links
Last update: 11/21/01
NOTE: 09/18/19 This page hasn't been updated in over a decade. Many people and sites have vanished or changed. I'm trying to go through all the links to update them. If I know the link doesn't work, I'll put Broken Link at the end of the description. This doesn't mean they no longer exist at all, but that I haven't found their new website yet (if it exists). If you see one with broken link on it, and know the new location, feel free to drop me a note.
