New Planet Could Sustain Human Life?

Astronomers have made an amazing discovery; a planet that they believe able to sustain human life. This planet is called “Gliese 581G” and is located in the “Goldilocks Zone”, an area not that far from earth.

Gliese 581G is said to possible have a supply of liquid water along with the proper gravity, atmosphere, and surface to support human life. The planet is about three times as big as Earth.

This planet does not rotate, meaning that one side is always sunny and hot while the other is cold and dark; however, scientists reasons that there should be a belt in the middle which would have constantly pleasant, tee-shirt weather.

New Planet Discovered 2010: Gliese 581g aka Goldilocks Planet – Among the planets in our solar system, our planet Earth is the only one which can sustain life. Scientists have been exploring the universe for quite some time now in search for another planet which can support life. One of the most studied planet is the red planet known as Mars because of the possible presence of water. However, based on further research, the lack of a magnetosphere and its extremely thin atmosphere pose great challenge to life’s sustainability.

A recent study conducted by a team of planet hunters from the University of California (UC) Santa Cruz, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington led to the discovery of a new planet using the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii. Accordingly, the new findings are based on 11 years of observations of the nearby red dwarf star Gliese 581. Gliese 581 is located 20 light years away from Earth in the constellation Libra.

The new planet discovered is located in the Gliese 581 star system, in the so-called “Goldiclocks zone” or an area where planets can can support liquid water on their surface.  Hence the new planet discovered was named “Gliese 581g” or the “Goldilocks Planet”. Reportedly, this new planet has a mass of three to four times that of Earth and orbits its star in just under 37 days.

There’s one more interesting fact about this newly discovered planet called Gliese 581g. Since it is tidally locked to the Gliese 581 dwarf star, one side of the planet is always facing the star and is in perpetual daylight, while the side facing away from the star is in perpetual darkness.

Santa Monica’s Nocturnal Art Festival that is popularly known as Glow 2010 this year is all set to be active in the evening today, Saturday, 25^th of September.

Glow 2010 is the second edition of Nocturnal Art Festival and the inauguration is promising to offer you quite a lot of attractive stuff to watch with some of the very attractive performances and performing arts on the whole.

The Nocturnal Art Festival drew more than 200000 visitors the last time it was active even when it was the first time.

The crowd for the first time of this event was satisfactory and the event organizer Jessica Cusick, who holds the cultural affairs manager’s designation for the city as well, is quite optimistic about this year as well with the expected figures falling to half to those in the last year.

The organizers blame the current poor economical condition to be responsible for fewer projects this year where the count has fallen to 20 compared to 27 previously.

The first day of fall 2010 or Autumnal Equinox 2010 is officially announced to be the Wednesday this week dated 22^nd of September. The time precisely will be around 11:09PM Eastern Time.

Scientifically, the sun is right above the Earth’s equator on Autumnal Equinox. This day marks the day when the number of hours in a day and the number of hours in the night are perfectly equal.

The Summer Solstice marks the day when days start getting shorted and beyond the Autumnal Equinox, the length of nights will increase compared to the lengths of days.

Daylight Saving Time has got nothing to do with the Autumnal Equinox as this has been already set to Sunday, November 7^th at around 2AM. The clocks are going to be turned an hour back.
