Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star approximately 20.3 light years away in the Milky Way galaxy.

The system for naming planets is the star name followed by a lower case b for the 1st discovered planet, c for the 2nd and so on.

There are 5 known planets around Gilese

  • Gliese 581e - a 3.1 Jovian mass planet 0.03 AU from the star
  • Gliese 581b - a 30.4 Jovian mass brown dwarf 0.04 AU from the star
  • Gliese 581c - a 10.4 Jovian mass planet 0.07 AU on average from the star
  • Gliese 581d - a 13.8 Jovian mass brown dwarf 0.22 AU from the star

3-6. The 3 planet model would have gliese 581 b too hot, gliese 581 c in the habitable zone, and gliese 581 d too cold. The 6 planet model would have gliese 581 e, b, and c too hot, gliese 581 g and d in the habitable zone, and gliese 581 f too cold.


How many planets does Andromeda galaxy have?

At present there are 350 extrasolar planets. Most are contained in the Milky Way galaxy. They are primarily "gas giant" planets, but if our solar system is typical (the Law of Mediocrity would lead us to believe it is) there should be many more rocky planets like ours.The extrasolar planets discovered in our neighbouring galaxy, Andromeda, are: * Upsilon Andromeda b (AKA: HD69830 b)* Upsilon Andromeda c (AKA: HD69830 c) * Upsilon Andromeda d (AKA: HD69830 d) * HD 8673 bAgain, if our galaxy is normal, then Andromeda would have planets around 10% of it's sun-like (G type) starsAside: The "Law of Mediocrity" states that you're nothing special. If you can do it, likely a lot of people can.Update 2009: Newest extra solar planets are Gliese 581 (the closest in size to Earth, only 1.9 times larger) and Gliese 581 (even larger), but it's sitting square in the habitable zone, where liquid water would be possible. Both Gliese 581 d and Gliese 581 e are located in constellation Libra and orbit around Gliese 581.
