In which constellation is Gliese 581 a star with the solar system similar to ours?
Gliese 581 is located in the constellation Libra. It is a red dwarf star with multiple planets, one of which, Gliese 581g, was once considered a potentially habitable exoplanet due to being in the star's habitable zone.
How many planets does gliese 581 have?
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.
Why is Gliese 581 g nicknamed goldilocks?
Gliese 581 g is nicknamed "Goldilocks" because it was considered to be within the habitable zone of its star, where conditions are not too hot or too cold for liquid water to exist on its surface. The term "Goldilocks" refers to the fairy tale character who found things that were "just right," mirroring the idea of this exoplanet having conditions suitable for life.
Why might Gliese 581 g have the right conditions for life?
it falls in the habitable zone of its star, it has oxygen in it's atmosphere, and it has water. Those are the seeds of life and Gliese 581g most likely has them all! The only bad thing about it is that this planet is tidally locked. It's always day on one side, always night on the other.
Is there a planet called Glisie 581 d?
No, but there is one called Gliese 581 dSee related link for more information.

What is the most exciting discovery in astronimacal history?
The discovery of Gliese d a habitable planet

What is special about Gliese 581 g?
It is a planet only about 3 times the mass of Earth orbiting in the habitable zone of the star Gliese 581. It is widely considered the most likely extrasolar planet to harbor life.
There is a lot of talk about the recent discoveries in the Gliese 581 system. Can humans live in a red star system?
if we can find a habitable planet

Anything about the new planet Gliese 581?
Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star with multiple planets orbiting it. Of particular interest is Gliese 581d, which is located within the star's habitable zone and may have conditions suitable for liquid water to exist. This has spurred speculation about the potential for life on this distant exoplanet.
What star is part of a triple star system?
The most famous triple star system is Alpha Ursae Minoris in the Ursa Minor constellation. Approximately 325 light years away. It is commonly known as the North Star or Polaris. 3 stars make up this system: Polaris, Polaris AB and Polaris B.Another somewhat famous 3-star system is Gliese 667 in the Scorpius constellation about 22 light years away with Gliese 667 A, B and C. This system is also home to a potentially habitable super-Earth, Gliese 667Cc at at least 4.5 times the size of Earth.Another well known triple system is the Alpha Centauri system. (It is still not certain that Proxima is actually physically part of the Alpha Centauri system or simply very close to it.)
Which earth like planet is around glisea?
Gliese 581 e is a planet with a mass similar to Earth and within the "habitable zone". See related links for more information
Why might Gliese 581 g have the right conditions for life?

What is the difference between Gliese 581 c and Gliese 581 d?
Gliese 581 c is too hot for life because it is closer to its star. This planet is similar to venus. This planet traps too much heat that causes a strong greenhouse effect. The temperature is too high and the atmosphere is nearly all carbon dioxide. Gliese 581 d is at the right distance for liquid water to exist. It is at the Goldilocks zone just like the earth. That means life could exist on Gliese d. This planet have the right temperature. It has a magnetic field and a rich oxygen and nitrogen atmosphere.
Is there a planet called Glisie 581 d?
No, but there is one called Gliese 581 dSee related link for more information.
