Gleise's Hints of Habitability
|
| Topic: Alien Life |
06/05/11 |
| Astronomers are providing new information about the potential for habitable planets in the Gliese 581 system. New data shows that the system's host star, Gliese 581, is relatively quiet. This increases the chances that one of the planets in the system could support environments for life as we know it. |

Gliese 581d: A Habitable Exoplanet?
|
| Topic: Alien Life |
05/20/11 |
| A new computer model that simulates possible exoplanet climates indicates that the planet Gliese 581d might be warm enough to have oceans, clouds and rainfall. Gliese 581d is likely to be a rocky planet with a mass at least seven times that of Earth. |

Detecting Wandering Worlds That Host Life
|
| Topic: Alien Life |
