Astronomers Are Excited Over The New Find In Space!

It seems it is possible that another planet is floating around in space that may have life existing on it.

This Planet is outside our solar system, however it has Earth like temperatures and is potentially habitable. There is very little known about this planet so far but it is very likely a watery type substance could be located there.

We probably won't be visiting the new planet as it is located 120 trillion miles from Earth. That calculates to be 20.5 light years in distance. So far the designated name for the new planet is GL-581c. We don't know whether it rotates in a 24 hour cycle like our earth however it does orbit the "Red dwarf star" which is designated Glise-581.

This star is much smaller and cooler than our Sun. Astronomers at the Carnegie Institution of Washington called the find "a major milestone in this business." Credit for the discovery goes to the European Southern Observatory's telescope in La Silla, Chile. It will be interesting to see what new developments come from this discovery.
