The Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a NASA-funded project whose primary
resource is an Abstract Service with almost 3/4 million abstracts from
journals, proceedings, PhD Theses, and NASA reports.  The abstracts are
divided into three datasets:

    -- Astronomy and Astrophysics
    -- Space Instrumentation
    -- Physics and Geophysics

which are searchable by author, object name (astronomy only), keyword, title,
and/or abstract text words.

The service is FREE on the World Wide Web, from the URL

    http://adsabs.harvard.edu/ads_abstracts.html

Additional features of the Abstract Service which are linked when available
include full-text articles for some Astronomy journals, data tables and images
associated with the abstract, electronic versions of the abstract, and
author-submitted notes about the abstract.
