Looking for the right planets to live on
Two other planets have been detected that revolve around the star Gliese 581; depending on its distance from the stars, life may be possible in one of them. The discovery was recently announced by American astronomers
Paul Butler and Steven Vogt. In this way, we already know six planets that revolve around the aforementioned star. Until now the planets G581b, G581c, G581d and G581e were known, but it is considered impossible to have life in them, since they are too close to the star.
The most recent findings are Gliese 581f and Gliese 581g. The latter takes 37 days to rotate around the star and always shows the same face to the star as our moon does with the Earth. Since one aspect of the planet may be too hot and the other too cold, the area between the two faces is most likely to find life.
The other planet found, Gliese 581f, takes 433 days to revolve around the star. Astronomers believe that it is too far from the star to have adequate living conditions.
