Gliese 581g Earth's twin
The discovery of Gliese 581g was announced in September 2010 by a
US-led team. But as soon as they made the announcement, doubts began to surface. The team at the Geneva observatory which had discovered all four other planets around the star Gliese 581 failed to detect it in their own data. But the original discoverers of 581g have now published an analysis using more data to provide more promising evidence for its existence. This would be significant because the Earth Similarity Index (ESI), devised by a team including Dirk Schulze-Makuch from Washington State University and Abel Mendez from the Arecibo Observatory, shows that Gliese 581g is the most Earth-like planet discovered to date. The ESI measures characteristics of exoplanets on a scale from zero to one, with one being identical to Earth. Accordingly, the online Habitable Exoplanets Catalog has decided to include it in their list of the most promising worlds to support life. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19008908 Would someone explain this to me really slow? The planet most like earth is a planet that we are not even sure exists. Not too hot, not too cold, not sure it's there. |

If only private funding is what discovered 581g, then it probably doesn't exist. http://groups.google.com/groups/search http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth,Brad_Guth,Brad.Guth,BradGuth,BG,Guth Usenet/”Guth Venus” |

Gliese 581g Earth's twin
DO YOU HAVE A VALID REASON FOR SUCH A STUPID STATEMENT, GOOF?
