ASTRONOMY-EXTRASOLAR-PLANETS
This artist's impression released by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) 25 April 2007 shows a Super-Earth (R, in red) in the planetary system around Gliese 581. Astronomers reported they had discovered a "Super-Earth" more than 20 light years away that is the most intriguing world found so far in the search for extraterrestrial life. About five times the mass of Earth, the planet orbits a cool, dim "red dwarf" star located in the constellation of Libra, the team from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) said in a press release. The star, Gliese 581, has already been identified as hosting a planet similar in size to Neptune, the frigid gas giant on the edge of our own Solar System.
