Earth like Planet GLIESE

Interesting pictures............ http://www.authorSTREAM.com/presenta...ion-powerpoint Actually it's a Super Earth. At five Earth masses, on the Meghar Scale Planetary Mass Classification this planet lies right between the Earth like planets at 0.5 to 5 Earth masses, and gas giants, or giant planets, at 5 to 50 times Earth masses. http://cosmic.lifeform.org/?p=166 We don't actually have any images of it, those last two pictures are artist drawings - totally speculative. There are expected to be both rocky super Earths and watery super Earths, and everything in between. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:G...e_masses_2.png -- Get A Free Orbiter Space Flight Simulator : http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/orbit.html |
