Scientists have found another planet orbiting a star. They nicknamed this planet goldilocks since its temperature was just right for to have some life on it. The planet happened to be the right distance from the sun, not to far not too close so there is a chance that "Goldilocks" might have water. With water and the right temperature there had to be life on it. However at the time scientists aren't yet sure if there is water on "Goldilocks". With the right amount of water somewhere garentees that there would be an abundance of life. Another thing is that the orbiting planets of the sun are similar to that of our solar system's orbiting. Gliese 581 the star that goldilocks is orbiting is so much smaller than our sun. Being compared to a christmas tree light bulb and nicknamed as red darf, the distance that goldilocks is much closer than that of our own planet Earth.With this possiblity scientist are trying to find traces of life and water on goldilocks though the chance of doing so is still in the far future. I think this artical is important because the planet Goldilocks will give us another place to live if it happens to hold life water and the things that humans, animals, and plants need. Another place to stay would be useful right now with the treat of over populution and green house gasses. Also every passing day the temperature of the Earth is increasing. Fall feels like summer while sometimes summer feels like winter. It would also be a big discovery.
