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.

Kepler telescope spots 54 exoplanets in "habitable zone"

Of the over 1,200 exoplanets discovered orbiting nearby stars, the Kepler telescope and scientists working with the images have defined 68 that are relatively close in size to Earth, plus 54 in the "habitable zone", also known as the "Goldilocks" zone (not too hot, not too cold). If even one of these is ultra-close to Earth in climate this will prove to be incredibly inspiring news; Car 54 where are you?

These new discoveries mean a tripling from the previously known 400 or so exoplanets (planets outside our solar system, eg. orbiting a different star / sun), and one of these newly-discovered solar systems has at least six exoplanets, the most yet discovered in a solar system other than our own.
