A handout graphic image released by France's National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) on May 16, 2011 shows a model of the possible surface temperatures of planet Gliese 581d that orbits a red dwarf star called Gliese 581 (R), located around 20 light years from Earth. Cooler temeratures are represented with blue colours and warmer temperatures red. The arrows represent winds at 2 kilometres altitude. Scientists said on May 16 a rocky world orbiting a nearby star was confirmed as the first planet outside our solar system to meet key requirements for sustaining life. Modelling of the planet shows it has the potential to be warm and wet enough to nurture Earth-like life, they said. AFP PHOTO / HO / LMD / CNRS
