Wow!, you may have found one of the Sean operating bases.
Excellent nebula331 thanks for that report.

Yes Sir! We had it in the news, too:

I see good news travels fast. Well keep up the monitoring of
any further reports of possible exoplanetary base findings to confirm
Sean possible colonization of the outer space quadrants General.

Perhaps we can colonize the planet with gay duckies and homo/pedos from
Colorado. In fact, if we send the entire AUK contingent there, we'd free up
enough wasted bandwidth to last us remaining normal folks for a millennium.

The mothers of Lakewood are tired of having to cover their children's eyes around the duck pond. Carl has never seen a duckbill he doesn't want to abuse!

While I'm not an astronomer, I find it absolutely
amazing how scientists are able to determine a small planet
only 50% larger (by their calculations) has an atmospher
that contains a surface temp of between 0-104F from
20.5 ly away.

I looked on my star charts for Gliese 581 and couldn't even find it.
Is this a relatively new found star?
Or perhaps it goes by a different nomenclature on my star chart?
Or perhaps further, maybe it wasn't deemed an important star
because it was a red drawf?

That said, I find the red drawf stars to be an interesting phenomena
in itself, as they are extremely long lasting stars, with very low
luminosities, and it's theorized red drawfs make up the majority
of all stars by a rather large margin.

-----------------------

On a far sci-fi aside...
ironicly or not, this fits in perfectly to the big bug eyed alien
theories,
as any creature born unto a low light sun would need extra sensitive
eyes.
However, our sun light on earth (or even normal lighting conditions
for
humans) would probably be blinding to them.

What kind of charts were those? Unless they're quite large-scale and
'deep' I wouldn't expect them to show such a faint star: see below.
According to SIMBAD its J2000 position is RA 15:19:27, Dec. -07°43'20".

No; SIMBAD lists references to it going back to 1926. Of course its
planets weren't discovered until fairly recently.

Or perhaps it goes by a different nomenclature on my star chart?

Could be; among its other designations are HO Librae, BD-7 4003, Wolf
562, and Hipparcos 74995. My "Starry Night Backyard" planetarium program
displays it as TYC5594-1093-1.

Or perhaps further, maybe it wasn't deemed an important star
because it was a red drawf?

Most likely because it's too faint to see without a sizable telescope:
it's of the eleventh magnitude, a hundred times dimmer than the faintest
stars you can see without optical aid.

Yes, they apparently aren't exactly the most detailed maps.
I can imagine how tricky (if not impossible) it is to represent a 3D
universe on a 2D piece of paper.
I find even the computer 3D modeling of space a rather difficult thing
to manipulate precisely from my amature level.

Don't you just love how 1 star can be called 5,6,7,8 different names?
The closest I could come to finding GL-581 on my star map was
it's nearest star GL-570 which is about 5.2ly away.
And then I can't help but wonder...where's GL-571-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9?

What I'm mainly interested in is the "near stars" within say 200ly.
All the known near stars, not some of them.
What's frustrating is how all the maps I find on the Internet vary so
much
because of all these varying designations, or no designation at all
because
they simply aren't listed.
