There's also the possibility that the planet could support lifeforms. It's located in the "Goldilocks" zone in its respective solar system, and therefore has the right gravity and light conditions to support lifeforms.
However there is one thing - the planet doesn't rotate and therefore it's always day on one half and always night on the other. In addition, it only takes about 37 days to rotate around its sun.
The idea that there could be extraterrestrial beings has long enthused those who love outer space. However, until now there was no PROOF that such life form existed. The new planet discovered 2010 planet Gliese 581G gives us hope that it exists.
very exciting. i believe this is the first of many in the habitable zone. now all we have to do is get there. LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is quite intereastin in case there would be live there i doubt they are gonna be close to looking like us and if they are aggressive then forget about it..it would be intereasting to see it personaly tho..
ReplyDeleteI doubt it could support life. If the star in its solar system is a good amount smaller than our sun and assuming the planet has an atmosphere to block out a majority of solar wavelengths including a composition that prevents wavelengths that a magnetic field would protect from (seeing it doesn't rotate), and the atmosphere doesn't contain too much sulfur or ammonium, then perhaps...
ReplyDeleteWe may finally found a place to put the Sand Niggers!
ReplyDeletehmmm i dont think the dark side would support human life .. i mean how would things grow? Eager to see if it has different life forms there
ReplyDeletedont think this supports life form. even if it does I dont think it will be possible to get there.
ReplyDeleteITS 20 LIGHT YEARS AWAY FROM EARTH
Why go to that planet... People on earth already destroyed the planet with the pollution... Why destroy another planet...the only thing will do is crea new borders for countries and destroy the natural sources if there is any.. God put us on earth for a reason.. Why go to another planet if we r gonna do the same thing as we have done to the earth
ReplyDeletethey should call it Reach...just like Halo!!..xD
ReplyDeletefuck man dis isnt true if there is some planet
ReplyDeletethn let it be
I agree with they should call it reach that would be cool...but i do think that why discover a planet that might be able to support life but we cant get there at least in our lifetime...we are not advanced in that modern of technology to travel 20 lightyears...and besides there might be covenant hiding on the darkside of the planet lol.
ReplyDeleteomg...leave that planet alone if its real...white ppl has done enough destroying this one:(
ReplyDeleteHi Thats great to know about gliese and its theoritical functions. It should be the first planet to get conquared by earth. if i get a chance to work on that will not think to die for it.
ReplyDeleteCRAZY COOL!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethis is pretty cool but because it doesnt rotate and its always day wouldnt it get really hot on one side it wouldnt have a magnetic field would it? if we got there i think they would find life but nothing like humans or animals probarlly only small organisms but still would be cool to find out
ReplyDeleteI believe we can live in tht planet and possibly there are living forms.we have to consider option that the living form will be completely different than on earth.personally i believe there is life on that planet
ReplyDeleteprashanth
"omg...leave that planet alone if its real...white ppl has done enough destroying this one:("
ReplyDeleteSeriously? First of all, our planet is not destroyed. It still rotates, it still harbors life and sentient beings. Now there are irreversible actions that humanity has taken, but to pin it on a single culture is the exact opposite of holistic. You are consuming energy yourself sitting on the computer there in your cozy home; the result of a mixture of cultures including non-white. Before you sit there and complain, try doing something about it and stop being a hypocrite.
This planet is only 20 light years away, which is a very short distance in space, and we are speculating that there may be life on it. Do you people realize just how big the universe is? There's probably millions of planets with life on them in the entire universe.
ReplyDeletedestroy the planet ja ja
ReplyDeleteimagine a planet with only females!!!!
ReplyDeletewhat they need to do is an aircraft which can reach extreme speeds
ReplyDeleteI say we put Albino people on it first. For one reason, they can go outside then. Imagine how great it would be for them.! :) No im not Albino but i like to go outside and Albino's cant but when and if we can reach this planet its dark most of the time so then they can go outside without worrying about the sun getting to them.! :)
ReplyDeletei got a name ( REACH )

This is true, to blame it on one race is wrong. In fact, I think last year more people bought cars in China then anywhere else on the planet. There are a lot of people in China too. No offense to China and Chinese people of course. This is a pretty cool find. I'm just curious as to why it took us so long to find it if it's close to Earth. I don't believe we should ever considering moving there. We have messed this planet up to some degree... what stops us from making this planet better is greed. I'm a human and I'm almost racist against humans for this. I don't think world leaders should ever be selected of wealthy people before they get in office because most of them are already rich and spoiled and they can't budget for crap. Put someone in office who has had to live it rough and is disciplined with their spending. They won't need the $250k a year plus all their housing and etc. covered on top of that. Chances are they will have a better attitude and treat people like people and not like we're working for them or we should bow before them. On top of all that, they would probably be more for stopping the whalers from killing more whales so that's not another animal that's going to fall off the face of our earth forever and maybe help everyone be able to AFFORD a freakin' hybrid car TO help save our planet.
ok, well we all know god didnt put humans on earth, thats stupid. we're just evolved creatures with awesome evolved brain that makes us superior to other animals, whicj could be misused so that sucks for them but, we cant be the only lifeform in the universe "god believers" im not saying theres life on this new planet but its possible! how brilliant is that idea, i hope something does communicate with us, but they may be less evolved than us perhaps, they could be just getting started in finding out that round things roll! oooh lol
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. I cant wait to see images of the surface. Cant wait for Google Gliese 581G. LOL
ReplyDeleteoh i just posted but i just read the msge above mine and i sooo agree, and wtf is up with the whole, white people done enough. go fuck urself ok, ur retarded
ReplyDeleteI think Arthur Dent visited there for a while...
ReplyDeleteNothing to write home about....
This is really only the beginning...We are less than a speck of dust in this Vast Universe...and we are only in Kindergarten here on Earth...Many, Many worlds to discover yet!!
well this earth is soon to be gone near 2012 - 2013 and the new planted is ready to be close for the new years to come for new gen. and the resone the new planted doesnt rotate yet and it will is because is not ready yet
ReplyDeletei believe there is a lot more planets just like earth that we just havent discovered and probably never will its crazy to think we are the only life forms in such a big atmosphere out there
ReplyDeleteI hope we never get there or one of the bush family will try to conquer and say they have masss destrcution weapons and will try to vanish earth. hahahahahah
ReplyDeleteI'm happy i love aliens
Our life time is too short to be able to explore the mighty hands of the Lord Jesus Christ, whom God created the universe through him.
ReplyDeletewell this earth is soon to be gone near 2012 - 2013 and the new planted is ready to be close for the new years to come for new gen. and the resone the new planted doesnt rotate yet and it will is because is not ready yet
ReplyDeleteso that being said spend as much time with your closes family cuase before you know it we all be gone !!
we should try sending a message first
ReplyDeleteIf NASA can build a spaceship that allows people to live and pass down four to five generations (about 200 year?), then people finally can "reach" Gliese 581G. We can not see it happens ourselves, but at least people in 2210 can. It worths a try!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, there is no reason for us to first create a mission to head to this planet. Like we did with Mars and the Jovian planets, we will probably create a drone to send out that way. However, until it is even analyzed and agreed that it has an actual possibility of sustaining life, there is no point. Just because it has a range like earths orbit does not specify its atmosphere is suited for life. It might not even be able to harbor humans let alone a native life form.
ReplyDeletei don't think that earth will die in 2012 i think the new planet should be an extra planet so if anything happens to earth(wich i don't think will happen)we will have an extra planet just in case.
ReplyDeleteI love how everything turns prejudice.....last time I remember we are talking about PLANETS!!! This planet is corrupted by rotten people like the ones on here referring to this article with racism! Needless to say an article that has no reference to nationality, religion, or ethnicity.
ReplyDeletei believe there is living beings in any where other planet, but may be it's far away from us. we are trying to find out needle on the hay. its may be find out or not.
