Life on Distant Planet?



According to Scientist about 20 light years away from our planet is a planet with perfect conditions for life. It has the right distance from its red dwarf star to perfect temperature to allow water to have liquid, solid, and gas state in water. Gliese 581g, scientists claim, has an almost 100 percent chance of holding life. It is, unlike earth, mostly rock, and not water, so it is difficult to compare it to earth, as some have. I think scientists have gone a bit fast to conclusions, the planet is mostly rock, and water is not seen on the surface, so why would it become another earth?

I am constantly amazed, that only 20 light years away, scientists have found this planets, with trillions of stars and planets in only our Galaxy, and with billions of Galaxies, what are the chances?

I find this article interesting because it is amazing that the planet is out there, and that if its like earth, with life, then it could even become a new earth. I find it really great that many, many of these planets through the universe and many with life. But how will we get to them???

Excellent Article..It is exciting to think that there is life somewhere else. The said thing is we will never see it and so we must preserve what we have here. You need to make connections from these articles in the future and try better to meet deadlines.
