Gliese 581G Named Best Place For Alien Life If The Planet Even Exists

(Credit: The Habitable Worlds Exoplanets Catalog, PHL @ UPR Arecibo)Researchers at the College of Puerto Rico at Arecibo's Enormous Habitability Laboratory (PHL) not long published a list, continuance the top five potentially habitable alien worlds. These five Earth-like planets are Gliese 667Cc, Kepler-22b, HD85512, Gliese 581d, and Gliese 581g. Gliese 581g tops the list as the best candidate so far of a oath habitable exoplanet. But precise scientists aren't satisfactory dependable that Gliese 581g even exists. Mike Stem of "Location.com" explains: The discovery of Gliese 581g ended headlines exclaim the world in September 2010, at the same time as the planet was whispered to circumnavigate in the necessitate of its star's "habitable zone" - that just-right accomplish of distances where on earth liquid water, and maybe life as we advise it, can exist. Unbiased a few weeks second, however, discrete unmistakable research pair began casting doubt on the hook, truism the alien planet didn't show up in their notes. These scientists from the HARPS Body from the Geneva Observatory were not able to detect Gliese 581g by the use of their own data. And the PHL points out that "further learning by others scientists to boot questioned the existence of Gliese 581g in the last two vivacity." But new research by the original discoverers of Gliese 581g, led by Steven S. Vogt of UC Santa Cruz, provides an expanded dataset, further taking sides the planet's existence. "Location.com" reports that, according to Vogt, his pair can completely mull over the Swiss researchers' have a spat by "tossing out a handful of data points." Anyway the diametrically opposed studies, and the challenges to the team's research, Vogt feels particular that his team's new data proves the existence of Gliese 581g. And based on this data, the PHL believes this planet is the best candidate for hosting extraterrestrial life. The team's new research is published in the magazine "High point Observations".
