Blog #4 - Article

This article is about scientist had found a planet orbiting the sun about 20 light-years away. Scientists calls the first planet, "goldilocks" planet because the temperature is just right for someone to live there. Scientist had found some water on "goldilocks," but it is either solid or that the temperature is warm enough for the water to boil away. The new planet is called Gliese 581-g, but is different. Scientist have no evidences of water on the planet. But to the scientist, Paul Butler, he thinks is that it is the right distance away from the sun to have liquid water and have the right amount of mass to hold an atmosphere. It also protects liquid water to stay on the surface.

I think this is important because it helps expands the universal more and that people can live not only on one planet, but on other ones too.
