A new Era on the new Earth

      A new study of astronomers has shown that there is a planet that is out there which has almost all the features of the Earth and can be inhabited. This planet is the first planet outside the solar system that could actually support life as how it is on Earth. It is now given the name as the- Super Earth

      Atmospheric studies have proved that the area suitable for creating a life as there is possible existence of water. This new world could resemble the our world in many ways as it contains oceans, sea and mainly life.
      This planets scientific name or the name which is known to all the astronomers in the world is known as Gliese 581d

     For previous several similar studies, it is along the same lines, but with the discovery of the closest, though not the concluded proof that water flows on the planet. The study states that Gliese 581d is about seven times larger than Earth and has a dense atmosphere on the basis of carbon dioxide. 
In the picture: towards the right is the earth and towards the left is the Super Earth


     Astronomers say that the Gliese 581d receives only one-third the energy of their parent stars, compared to the amount of energy the earth receives from the Sun. Also that planet (prediction)  is always facing only one side to its star, which means that one half the planet is in eternal day, and other half is in eternal night.

     when the planet was discovered for the first time they saw only ice and was filled with glaciers. But then scientists have believed that the atmosphere was so dense filled with carbon dioxide that there might be a  green house effect taken place, eventually melting down these huge icy particles into water
