First Habitable Exoplanet? Climate Simulation Reveals New Candidate That Could Support Earth-Like Life

If Gliese 581d does turn out to be habitable, it would still be a pretty strange place to visit — the denser air and thick clouds would keep thesurface in a perpetual murky red twilight, and its large mass means that surface gravity would be around double that on Earth. But the diversity of planetary climates in the galaxy is likely to be far wider than the few examples we are used to from the Solar System. In the long run, the most important implication of these results may be the idea that life-supporting planets do not in fact need to be particularly like Earth at all.

holy shit they found Gallifrey..
