Is There LIFE on Planet GJ581g?
GJ 581 g is an Earth-like planet recently discovered orbiting Gliese 581, a red dwarf star categorized as M Dwarf. This new discovery is perceived by scientists as as a Goldilocks type sphere - not too hot, not too cold. Nicknamed Zarminas World (after his wife Zarmina) by project leader Steven S Vogt, GJ581g will fascinate and enthrall Earthlings for generations to come.

Is new exoplanet Kepler 10b a "habitable" rival to Gliese 581g?
With NASA's announcement of the discovery of rocky planet Kepler 10b, the first thing that came to my mind was "is it habitable?"
NASA’s Kepler Mission is using transit photometry to determine the frequency
of Earth-sized planets in or near the habitable zone of Sun-like stars (sometimes referred to as the "Goldilocks Zone", not too hot, not too cold). The
mission reached a milestone towards meeting that goal with the discovery of its
first rocky planet, Kepler-10b.
