Pros: Super-Earth-class size Situated in Gliese 581’s HZ Existence of liquid water possible Grainy or ocean covered surface Cons: Radiation impact from the star Probably tidally locked Anyway: The system is “only” 20.4 light-years away and therefore a travel target for the future by when our successors will know more about this planetary system, which may count more than the four planets known to date. Suppose it would be possible to travel near the speed of light, the journey would take about 6.1 years one-way at 1g acceleration. Credit: ESO
