Guidelines for paper research
Possible web sites that may have accurate articles are en.wikipedia.org (may be too technical) (lots of ads, though) Try using google.com and search for TRAPPIST-1, “Barnard’s Star”, or Oumuamua You can restrict the search to a particular site by adding the expression site:astronomy.com or something similar, and you will only get articles from that web site.
