Exoplanet Gliese 581 c

Artist's impression of the five-Earth mass planet, Gliese 581 c, found in the habitable zone around the red dwarf Gliese 581, with the instrument HARPS on the ESO 3.6-m telescope. Gliese 581 c gained interest from astronomers because it was reported to be the first potentially Earth-like planet in the habitable zone of its star, with a temperature right for liquid water on its surface, and by extension, potentially capable of supporting extremophile forms of Earth-like life.However, further research casts doubt upon the planet's habitability. It is tidally locked (always faces the parent star with the same face) so if life had a chance to emerge, the best hope of survival would be "the twilight zone." Release date April 25, 2007.
