On October 9, 2008, the State Space Agency of Ukraine sent a message towards Gliese 581c. Unlike the Voyager records, whose messages were chosen by a committee chaired by renowned physicist Carl Sagan ...

The Gliese 581 star has about 30 percent the mass of our sun, and the outermost planet is closer to its star than we are to the sun. Gliese 581d might be able to sustain liquid water on its surface.

A rocky alien planet called Gliese 581d may be the first known world beyond Earth capable of supporting life as we know it, a new study suggests. Astronomers performing a new atmospheric-modeling ...

Gliese 12 b is the nearest transiting temperate Earth-sized planet that we found to date. And this was actually, it was a long process for discovering this planet.

Both teams found that, while Gliese 581 c is too close to the star to be habitable, the planet Gliese 581 d might be habitable. However, the environmental conditions on planet d might be too harsh ...

The planet orbits a so-called cool red dwarf star called Gliese 12, according to NASA. Gliese 12 is only about 27% of the sun’s size, with about 60% of the sun’s surface temperature, NASA said.

The discovery of Gliese 12 b, a nearby possibly habitable exoplanet, is a thrilling development in the quest to find Earth-like planets and, potentially, extraterrestrial life.

“Since Gliese 12 b gets in between the amount of light as Earth and Venus get from the sun, it will be valuable for bridging the gap between these two planets in our solar system,” said Dholakia.

Gliese 1132b is interesting not just because it’s the first low-mass super-Earth to have a detectable atmosphere. It’s near Earth, putting it in the sights of existing telescopes; and it was ...
