Is there life beyond planet Earth?
Astronomers revealed a new lead in the search for extra-terrestrial life last Tuesday. For the first time, they have discovered a planet outside our solar system that could possibly sustain life. The planet, named Gliese 581c, was found by a European Southern Observatory telescope located in La Silla, Chile. “It`s a significant step on the way to find possible life in the universe”, says Michel Mayor, one of the European astronomers on the team that discovered the planet. The planet has Earth-like temperatures, even though the star it closely orbits, known as a red dwarf, is much smaller than our sun. Astronomers do not yet know if there is liquid water on Gliese 581c. “Liquid water is critical to life as we know it”, says Xavier Delfosse, an astronomer on the discovery team.
