Astronomers at Garcing, Germany, April 25, Yesterday, announcing the success they found a planet Earth that have similar ma outside the Solar system orbiting the star Matahari.Planet they will be called Gliese 581.
The temperature of the planet is expected to "friendly" really the same as those of us living beings, namely 0 to 40 degrees Celsius.
According to the astronomers, with a temperature that much, chances are there have a source of water on its surface, of course, water in liquid form, considering the planet's temperature tsb temperature of not less than the freezing point of water and very far from the boiling point of water.
The location of its own that observed from Telskop ESO 3.6 m in Chilie, located about approximately 20.5 light years from our solar system.
Temperature: 00-40 degrees Celsius
Distance: 20.5 light years
Constellation: Libra
Size of Planets that have not been given the name of the earth 1.5 times larger and its surface is estimated to consist of rocks.
To know there are signs of life or not on that planet, the scientists now have placed a special telescope to monitor it.
Uniqueness of this new planet is the orbit of the star Gliese 581, which only takes 13 days, which means that one year on the planet is equal to 13 days on Earth.
Gliese 581 has been identified by the facility European Southern Observatory at La Silla in the Atacama desert, has a size smaller than the Sun, much cooler, and do not have as good as sun light.
At least there are 3 tables which rotate around the planet Gliese 581, the first Earth-like planets yes earlier, the second a besarnnya palenet about 15 times the mass of the earth, and the third 8 times larger than Earth and jararaknya farthest from Gliese 581.
Course of this discovery, the scientists put a lot of hope at tu planet.Katanya can make a backup shelter for humans if the earth have started cranky! weqs, but the problem there rises what? light wrote that cepetnya for mercy butuhin time to reach 20.5 years there (the calculation of the solar system)
