Alien Life on Planet Gliese 581d?

A group of astronomers discovered a planet that is rich in water with a distance of 20 light-years. Alien or aliens allegedly living on a planet is named Gliese 581d. Gliese 581d is behind the earth's cosmic. The scientists think Gliese 581d has the atmosphere, ocean, clouds, and rain. The planet was warm and wet enough so that aliens could live there.

Size Gliese 581d is estimated two times larger than Earth. Gliese 581d is in the Goldilocks zone. This region is not too cold and heat, allowing the water was there. British scientist, Dr Robin Wordsworth, who led a team in Paris has been studied Gliese 581d. According to Wordsworth, though alien could live there, people will not be.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, Wordsworth wrote, "The density of air and the clouds keep the surface in a state of perpetual red dusk. gravity is twice that of the Earth." The planet was actually discovered in 2007. According to the findings of scientists, one side of the planet is always facing the sun. That is, one side of the planet is always noon, while the other side is always night. To reach Gliese 581d, man takes 300 thousand years using rocket technology that exist today.
