planet.jpg Gliese 581 c planet is reported to have a surface temperature similar to earth and it is the smallest extrasolar planet discovered to date. Gliese 581 c has a mass at least 5.03 times that of Earth. Mass of the planet cannot be very large than this or the system becomes dynamically unstable. Gliese 581 c has a radius at least 50% larger than that of Earth. The most important element that we need in the new planet is water. Because water can provide us oxygen too.

May be one day when there is not enough space in the world and the number of human increase rapidly, shifting to a new planet is one of the solution. But before transporting human from world to another planet, a lot of testing and research need to be done and this will take years…to do it.

Gliese 581 c is similar to earth, where potential of living creature is higher. What about aliens? Do they really exists?
