Gliese 581 c planet and star, artwork. This view, from the surface of a possible moon orbiting the planet, shows the parent star (upper right) and the planet itself (upper left). Another planet or moon is seen transiting (passing in front of) the star. This planet, which has a radius about times that of Earth, is thought to be near the star's habitable zone. Oceans and vegetation are depicted on its surface. Gliese 581 is around 20 light years from Earth, in the contellation of Libra.
