Helloworld,
Astronomers from W.M. Keck Observatory, Hawaii, discovered a planet that could actually inhabited by humans. The planet, called Gliese 581g is located 20 light years from earth and around the star called Gliese 581.
Already some time astronomers find planets similar to Earth. "However, this is the first planet 'Glodilock'," said astronomer Paul Butler. "Glodilock" means not too hot and not too cold. Astronomers from the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC It added that the distance of the planet to the sun is very fitting to have the water on the surface - a natural element essential to sustain human life.581g Gliese not spinning on its axis. That is, one side of the planet three times the size of this Earth will feel the light of a servant, while the other side is always dark. Scientists estimate that there are aliens who live there, they will live on the border between light and dark. On the planet, the scientists added, people could see the sun on the horizon, like it was rising or sinking, all the time.
Gliese 581g is not the only planet around Gliese 581. Astronomers have found six other planets first. Some of the first planet discovered it was called could be inhabited. However, after further research, the planets are hard to live. Examples are Gliese 581C which in 2007 considered to be occupied. Apparently, the distance the planet is too close to its sun so that temperature there is too high. Gliese 581d need a thicker atmosphere in order to warm the planet.
