Rec.arts.sf.science? Glad to know there's a place just like that.
Something that will be perfect for asking if your three planets are
going to crash into each other given their AU's being close to each
other and all that. www.writersbbs.com was supposed to be good for
that, but their science fiction board doesn't get much traffic.



Umm....  "AU" is generally taken to mean "Astronomical Unit" and is
approximately 93 million miles.  Did you have some other meaning in
mind?  (In the mean time, you might want to look  up some data on
the rather famous "three body problem".)


Umm, I'm not sure, but I think he was posing an inherently silly question, maybe in jest?
