According to National Geographic, it seems to have just the right conditions to suggest simple life exists there. “It’s just the right distance from its sun.

And if comets have struck, delivering water and organic materials, then life, complex beings like us, even civilizations like our own could be down there, right now.” But this is not the first time scientists glance over the Gliese 581 for possible hospitable planets. Two other candidates were found here, though they were ruled out after closer examination. Paul Butler, one of the discoverers, explains why Gliese 581d is the first viable candidate.
