New Planet?

Scientists say they have found new life on another planet outside of our solar system. Sounds unreal, huh? Well, it definitely isn’t. Dr. Sasselov tells that this planet they’ve just discovered is very common. “It’s exciting,” he says. The information they’ve gathered also tells us that the life on this planet might be even more agreeable with its environment than Earths is. It orbits a red star known as Gliese 581. It’s the smallest out of the 200 or so planets that exist out of our solar system.
Although scientists and astronomers have found this planet about two years ago, they’ve just found out that it might be possible for astronauts to travel there. It wouldn’t be a hazard for them because the planets temperature ranges from 0 degrees to 40 degrees. They claim this new planet is very Earth-like, and there wouldn’t be any chances of traveling there if the surfaces were bigger than Venus’.
Scientists wont be able to get more of its physical makeup until it orbits Gliese 581. So until then, we know there’s a planet out there with life.
