Is there any space craft that investigates stars and fid information about it?

Only from a distance.  The hubble investigates stars all day.  No satellite has even visited another star.  We have 2 satellites that have just left the solar system and they were launched like 35 years ago. so they have many centuries before they visit the nearest star, if they are even headed in that direction.

Go to Heavens Above.  They have a lot of information about the planets, as well as satellites that have been placed in orbit or sent out into the solar system.\n\nhttp://www.heavens-above.com

They might be able to obtain some paralax measurements of the stars and/or planets as they move around the Earth in their orbit, so they could deduce that they were orbiting something, though they might not know just what it was.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration\n\nhttp://www.nasa.gov/\n\nNASA handles both aeronautics research (passenger jets and the American national air transport system, for instance) but is better known for their work in space, including the moon landings, the space shuttle, and the assorted number of Martian rovers currently roaming around Mars.

This is one of the thousands websites out there,\n\nhttp://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/constellations/constellationmonth_list.html\n\nThis is a very good star map program plus can download additional catalogs. Totally freeware!\n\nhttp://www.stargazing.net/astropc/\n\nThis is also a freeware, Celestia, it is a space flight simulator. Awesome.\n\nhttp://www.shatters.net/celestia/index.html

A non-official website that deals with NASA related information is \n\nhttp://www.nasawatch.com/\n\nYou can learn alot there that you would not get from NASA itself.

Get all the info you need from its official website.\n\nhttp://hubble.nasa.gov/index.php\n\n\nYou can get more info, putting  "Hubble telescope" in your search machine  and follow the list that appears there.

This question doesn't belong in the category Astronomy/Space...but in fiction.....\n\nGet real........:)

Because of the great distances involved, the most reliable way we have to look for aliens is to search the sky for the different forms of electromagnetic radiation that a technologically advanced society might generate, such as radio waves.  SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) does just this, looking for anything that might be interpreted as signs of intelligence in the background noise that otherwise permeates the universe.  Nothing conclusive so far, but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.  With the universe as unimaginably large as it is, odds are something is out there.

If you mean: "How can one find out where in the *sky* to look for stars," then there are many sites from which to choose. You an do a google search for free astronomy software or even starfinders. The ones I would suggest (and use) are The Sky View Cafe and Ad Astra (Latin for 'to the stars'). Sky View Cafe is an online, java-based star chart that can show you the position of various objects (planets, Sun, moon, and some of the brighter stars). Ad Astra is a free downloadable program that you can use and it does the same thing. Both programs require that you know your geographic location on the Earth (latitude and longitude). There are also commercial software programs that can be purchased as well. The observational astronomy class at Virginia Tech (Blacksburg, VA) has a website (http://www.phys.vt.edu/~jhs/phys3154/) with many links to a ton of programs and other astronomy-related tools that may be of general interest.

Try this site it's really fascinating http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/

There have been many systems identified, some with multiple planets and a few with asteroid belts. The problem is that they are mostly discovered by measuring the minute movements of the star caused by gravitational influences of nearby orbiting objects, so most of the discoveries to date have been systems with relatively large planets (many times larger than our Jupiter) and quite close to the star so that the movement is more easily detected. Recently however, there have been more sensitive sensor arrays which have been able to resolve more "normal" configurations using sophisticated imagery, so there is hope for discoveries of systems more similar to our own in the near future. In any event, given the tremendous distances involved, the resolution of optical telescopes available in the foreseeable future would pretty much preclude any traditional photograph of such a system if it were to be found. There have been some rather blurry computer images generated from these other imaging systems, but I'd hardly call them photographs. Try monitoring <space.com>
