Description
Newly discovered extra-solar planet may be Earth-like
A planet 50% greater in radius and with about 5 times earth mass orbiting the red dwarf Gliese 581 has been discovered inside the constellation of Libra.
A 2005 search revealed that the star Gliese 581 possessed a Neptune sized planet, prompting astronomers to take a closer look. Gliese 581 c, as the planet is aptly named, has an estimated surface temperature between 0 and 40°C (32 and 104°F). Scientists claim the planet is likely to have an atmosphere and liquid water.
A second planet, about 8 times the mass of earth, was also discovered not too far from Gliese 581 c.
A team of scientists from France, Switzerland and Portugal discovered the planets using the ESO 3.6-m telescope from the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher or HARPS, located at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in La Silla, Chile.
"The separation between the planet and its star is just right for having liquid water at its surface," said team spokesperson Stephane Udry of the Observatory of Geneva in Versoix, Switzerland. "That's why we are a bit excited."
"Liquid water is critical to life as we know it and because of its temperature and relative proximity, this planet will most probably be a very important [focus] of future space missions dedicated to the search for extra-terrestrial life.
On the treasure map of the Universe, one would be tempted to mark this planet with an X.

they will have to invent an entirely new way to travel in space just to explore our solar system and have mankind on board.it is just a matter of time however. cool syfy and composition
This planet looks very promising that you have created so well. I'm sure it will have life on it too.
Dear Magik excellent scene!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for information my friend!!!! Hugs!!!
Awesome!
wonderful work
this, my friend... is pure beauty!
I've read about this one! Nice interpretation! I'm betting that the surface would be a nasty environment, not just the gravity, but the atmospheric pressure would be immense.
Awesome space scene Magik, Good find,We might need another planet soon!
Very nice space scene. Great lighting and textures! Really nice render.
