Have you ever dreamed of having a trip to a new planet? Well,one day this event might happen. The two astronomers Paul Butler and Steve Vogt have 'finally' discovered an other planet where life might live. Scientists understood that this planet is 120 trillion miles away from the Earth, it is 3 ½ times bigger than the Earth and also it looks like that it has atmosphere and gravity. Gliese 581 G (Name of the planet)is too much close or too much near to its star which is Gliese 581. Gliese 581 G takes only 37 days to orbit around the sun (their sun is a star). Because it does not round fully; this means that one half will have 24 of boiling hot and the other half of dark and cold.
For sure till now many other things are still not known. Does this planet like Earth has water? Is the gas in the atmosphere is made of gas that humans can all live?
Near the Dwarf Star there are also other planets, Gliese 581 was also discovered as life could be living on it, but then astronomers had found that the planet was too hot for human living. Who knows if any strange living thing. Scientists need only a little cell called OMOEBA which can confirm which life is in it.

ReplyDeleteThank you Ajda!! I' ll check it, but I do not think so though...
ReplyDeleteIt's very interesting...maybe there will be a possibility for humans to live somewhere else than on Earth (one day in the future...).
ReplyDeleteNo Ajda, as I thought animals can't live in this planet...
