"Say hello to Gliese 581c. A possible new homeworld that has been newly discovered to be completely covered in ocean; a waterworld deeper than ten times that of Earth’s deepest trenches."
[quote][u]Well, according to Wikipedia[/u]: Gliese 581 c initially generated interest because it was originally 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 on the potential effects of the planetary atmosphere casts doubt upon the habitability of Gliese 581 c and indicates that the fourth planet in the system, [u][b]Gliese 581 d[/b][/u], is a better candidate for habitability.[/quote]
[b]Gliese 581 d[/b]: In late April 2009, new observations by the original discovery team concluded that the planet is within the habitable zone where liquid water may exist.
