About discovery - The new discovery in the field of space has proved to be a milestone in its research .The discovery shows another earth like planet found ,which is about 20 light years from our earth , it is located in the Gliese solar system .The new planet is named as 581G and is in the 'goldilocks zone' which can support liquid water.
It is still not disclosed that whether or not the planet exists life , if it has life it may be as small as microbes or may be as intellegent as our earth's life. The researches are still taking place regarding the planet and its existence. The scientists are busy in studying the new planet its atmosphere and find out more as much as possible about it. As it may be difficult for travelling to the planet in our lifetime.
About planet - The planet seems to be like earth it orbit rounds a red star like our sun but smaller in sizeand seems to be in right temperature zoneso that it may sustain life, but it does not rotate on its axis as earth does . It may hundreds of years to reach there withour present technologies. It is a step ahead the discoveries on space.
About scientists - The scientists have to spend sleep less nights to come up with the study on planet and its environment. THe scientists say that the is in the area not too hot not too cold . the discoveries show that it may be a all of gas or all of ice .
We won't be reaching there soon i.e our spaceshuutle scientists would be studying it from far and would be looking for radio active and magnetic rays which would help them know about the life there. If the life would be found there it is going to be very different as the planet does not rotates so there is day on half planet and night on the other half of it and it takes only 37 days to rotate round its sun . Waiting for more news regarding it .
