Post - 16 Study Resources to facilitate A-Level and undergraduate study. AstroGLU
AstroGLU, an innovative discovery tool, helps the user to locate database servers providing relevant information in the astronomical context related to a selected data type: object name, position on the sky, astronomer's name, etc. AstroGLU is based on a dictionary of remote services, developed by Centre de Donnees astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS) in the framework of the GLU system. It is the CDS contribution to the AstroBrowse project. http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/glu/cgi-bin/astroglu.pl
