Gliese 12b, an Earth-sized exoplanet that’s only 40 light years away, ... You had mentioned before whether or not we could actually travel to this planet, Gliese 12 b.

The Gliese 581 star has about 30 percent the mass of our sun, and the outermost planet is closer to its star than we are to the sun. Gliese 581d might be able to sustain liquid water on its surface.

Gliese 581: Extrasolar Planet Might Indeed Be Habitable Date: December 14, 2007 Source: Astronomy & Astrophysics Summary: In April, a European team of astronomers announced the discovery of two ...

The Gliese 581 star has about 30 percent the mass of our sun, and the outermost planet is closer to its star than we are to the sun. Gliese 581d might be able to sustain liquid water on its surface.

A&A is now publishing two independent, detailed studies of this system, which confirm that one of the planets might indeed be located within the habitable zone around the star Gliese 581. Advanced ...

A rocky alien planet called Gliese 581d may be the first known world beyond Earth capable of supporting life as we know it, a new study suggests. Astronomers performing a new atmospheric-modeling ...

The planet orbits a so-called cool red dwarf star called Gliese 12, according to NASA. Gliese 12 is only about 27% of the sun’s size, with about 60% of the sun’s surface temperature, NASA said.

The exoplanet Gliese 12 b is tantalizingly close and moderately warm, situated just 40 light-years away around a red dwarf star. The potentially habitable planet could be a good place to search ...

A year on Gliese 12 b is just 12.8 days on Earth because the planet orbits its star so closely. The planet receives about 1.6 times more energy from its star than Earth does from the sun ...

Gliese 12 b is one of “a handful of temperate planets similar to Earth that are both close enough to us and meet other criteria needed for this kind of study,” said Michael McElwain, a ...

A newly discovered alien planet may be one of the top contenders to support life beyond Earth, researchers say. The newfound world, a "super Earth" called Gliese 163c, lies at the edge of its star ...

Nearly two years after spotting Gliese 581g, the celebrated "first potentially habitable" alien world, the planet's discoverers continue to fight for its existence. IE 11 is not supported.
