  • The Aliens are trolling us with a giant mirror.

  • Thats VERY close to the star lol, should say not to scale

  • This video has nothing to do with god. It's just a video on four exoplanets and their sun. Geez, why does everything have to turn into a religious debate? Can't we just enjoy astronomy without bring religion into it?

  • @AmyK007

    Agreed.

  • if earth will destroyed lets go to mars

  • Comment removed

  • OK... another planet will be destroyed in the near future because of human kinds..

  • At 1:18 he says there is four planets going around gliese 581. But there is a program called celestia and that says there is 6!

  • @Bigjakestudios

    well i don't know how old this video is (>1 year obviously) but celestia is still being actively updated last I checked but that was late last year. search 581g i CBF lol

  • @Bigjakestudios there are four proven planets currently. due to lack of data, we just don't know how many there actually are, but the data we have right now suggests that there might be an additional two.

  • Comment removed

  • aww shit another planet that's gonna get hit by a dark star

  • This is a great opportunity for creationists to once again modify their insane ridiculous lie that gods concept winked into existence all life. Wait let me guess. He winked into existence Gliese 581 as well..its in the bible on the new planet XD creationist morons

  • @699backstab Thats science thinking.

  • @699backstab Yea, If you want to go attacking people like that, keep your fucking opinion to yourself. No creationist said that our solar system is the only one capable of establishing or withholding life. Infact, 99% of them said that there are millions of solar systems that may as well be capable of holding the same enviroments ours does. what they did say though is that we wouldn't be living there, because this is our permenant solar system.

  • @DbzFighter02 Where did 99% of them say that? I thought in the bible god made the universe for only US ON THE EARTH.

  • @699backstab I'm relativist about this theme. I don't know if God exists or doesn't exist. We cannot prove nothing. But yes, Gliese is a good argument for rich people destroy this World. And one question: how's that Voyager have gone so long at these last 40 years....??? No if that planet could it take 300 years???? I don't know, but.... I can think that this planet doesn't exist. Think it relatively...

  • @699backstab wait a second why say people who believe in god and the things he did are lies. I wouldn't say your a moron because you believe everything happend just by chance. Why can't you just respect other people's belief and they respect yours?

  • can we get an update on the gliese 581?

  • who's to say aliens need water to live....

    when we think of aliens we always think of human like creatures...

    whos to say that aliens arent spirt like creatures or creatures that are 0.1% the size of germs

  • @KOstriker1 Because that's just not how life works

  • We have more chances of reaching and colonizing Gliese than Half Life 3 ever releasing. LOL

  • @mutanTV131

    You know that valve can't count to 3

  • I've got this season of 'How the Universe Works', it's so good, I would tell you how to get it but I would assume no one cares...lol

  • @Azza1070 I care, where can I get that?

  • over here we dont call it gliese518d we call it habbit.. Habbit knows the existance of earth. and its life they call "human" we are working on a ship that will travel 3AU- as the humans call it per sencond..we have sent numerous ships in your direction hundreds of them have arrived. By using this translator we deloped over time we now know how to speak human

  • Interesting

  • 2012 coming we better move der

  • For those who keep asking about how they know if it a rocky planet or what... u sure need to watch or read more about the universe... the explaination is easy... U can ether break up the light... or messure it when it passes it's sun...

  • OR, if you listen to the NibiruTards and ConspiRetards . .

    Its Nibiru!!! . . .

    LOL.

  • @gambleyourhealth Everything is nibiru for them.... XD

  • Now having said all that (wiki) , 3 to 4 g's would be very rough. Imagine a 180 lb person on this world wieghing 600 to 700 ilbs. Simple rocks would be very heavy. If there is a civilation that is humanoid, they would possibly be very short and strong, as a fall would likely kill a human.

  • @coolair00 I don't think the gravity is going to be that strong. The planet has 8x the size of Earth, that means 2x the diameter. The gravity would be 8x stronger AT THE SAME DISTANCE, but since you're twice as far away from the core, that number decreases by factor 4 (gravity is reversed proportional to the square of distance). So in the end, you'll only have 8/4=2g's, which is still very uncomfortable, but endurable.

    But again, the chance of actually finding life there is quite low

  • Studies indicate the planet is situated near the middle of the habitable zone of its parent star, where temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold to sustain earth-like life. If it is a rocky planet, favorable atmospheric conditions could permit the presence of liquid water, a necessity for most known life, on its surface. With a mass 3.1 to 4.3 times Earth's, Gliese 581 g is considered a super-Earth and is the planet closest in size to Earth known in a habitable zone.

  • Gliese 581 g is an unconfirmed extrasolar planet, orbiting the red dwarf star Gliese 581, 20.5 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Libra. It is the sixth planet discovered in the Gliese 581 planetary system and the fourth in order of increasing distance from the star. The discovery was announced by the Lick-Carnegie Exoplanet Survey in late September 2010, after a decade of observation.

  • Water could supposedly exist in liquid form on gliese 581 g, yet the atmosphere supposedly averages -19F. Not sure I follow.

  • 2:12 It looks like Planet Reach!!!

  • this video is before they discovered the gliese 581 G.....gliese 581 G was discovered in september 2010 .

  • I wonder if there is another "earth" on the opposite side of "our" sun? And we can't see it, because the sun is always between us...just a thought.

  • @Kvnblmr lol. very good point.

  • @Kvnblmr dude, we have sattelites and stuff that we have sent to other planets. There is no other Earth.

  • @Kvnblmr lmao no....definitely not. I can see what you mean though.

  • For your knowledge people, the only way they know of those planets is the way the star zigzags in reaction to their gravity, that's about it. nothing seen with a telescope or anthg

  • @hachakaza they also analyze the light spectrum

  • i have a question...that picture of the planet looking like it has land an sea, is that real or is it computerized? ....

  • que joden con Chuck Norris Mierda!!!

  • DUDE is it Gliese 581 g , c, d ,??? wtf witch one is the real one??? i heard it was 2x The MASS , and 3 times The MASS and also 7 times The MASS !! wtf give us the right DETAILS!!

  • yeah i have heard from different doco's that it was 2 times the mass of earth in the habital zone or goldilocks

  • The more videos I watch, the bigger the planet is. Last video it was 7 times. a few minutes ago it was 3 times bigger. wtf. Give the right details!

  • they use the tf2 dispenser sound lol

  • yeah but since it's 8 times the mass of earth gravity would increase proportionally so when we step into it we would have to be able to support 8 G's of pressure....so...it's kinda hard

  • @Genomaza9 Wrong. The surface-gravity of a celestial object also depends on the diameter. 8x mass doesn't mean 8x gravity if it's bigger.

  • "But there's another one, about 8 times the mass of earth..." Too bad we can't go there. Everything would weigh 8x as much as it does on Earth. So if you weigh 200 lbs, over there you'd weigh 1600 lbs. You be crushed by your own weight.

  • My mind is now blown. It looks just like Earth.

  • @TheRealLazyGamer youre joking right?

  • that wasnt a real planet that was a made up digital image, over exaggerating what that planet could look like -,-

    that picture was like 5x5 pixel

    how the hell do they even know its a rocky planet

  • @WonderNoobie I know it's a digital image. I'm not dumb.

  • What *I* wanna know is when they're gonna invent a YouTube in which I can scroll through the comments and keep watching THE VIDEO.

  • I want to be a Gliesian :(

  • @rockead77 which you like gliese 581 D or G not both one pick then what you think about ?

  • @UNSCful humm i think that gliese 581D is better but there too hot for human so we can go to gliese 581G good for life enough as our planet

    so we today we discovey 1,345 alien planet and 56 planet habitable zone

  • @UNSCful What are you talking about, Gliese 581 D is on the verge of the habitable zone, it's further than Gliese 581 G... Gliese 581 D would be equivilent of mars on terms of habitabilty. I would have to say if i compare the two, Gliese 581 D would range from -80 celsius to -30 celsius min.

  • @timsons7777 they gliese 581D and G has two habitable zone glise 581 G discovery on Spet.25 2010 and D is july,26,2006 frist found planet like earth today they two earth within gliese 581 system

  • @timsons7777 oh might you will see serch ''flying through gliese 581" on youtube they has two earth so i think you were right and i dont know support gliese 581 has two habitable zone

  • @rockead77 i think that if you're a gliesian it would mean that you live in the actual star :P so you probably want to be a Gliese D...ian... or something because the planet that has the conditions of life is called "Gliese 581 D" :)

  • @Genomaza9 As far as I know, both G and D may support live, although D is the most likely.

  • @Helge129 I think you and him can have your opinions but i agree G is probaly the more likely to have life because d has more dull colours and is gray while G is the same colour as earth.

  • Gliese 581D ftw !! too warm as south american

    Gliese 581G is a too cold

  • I don't think finding life on another planet is very good cuz wat if they don't like use or something and they figure out a way to destroy our planet then WE ARE ALL FUCKED all because they wanted to find life on other planets!!!!!

  • I t

  • they 4 super earth ?

  • that planet should be called Earth 2.0

  • 8 times the size wtf thats like 5 times the gravity uhm not thanks i like having a spine

  • @skimowhite586 You sir, are what Astronomers call, "Mentally Retarded".

  • @tomsCOOLdancing ok how about you do the math genius maybe its not exact but obviously its going to have more gravity.

  • @tomsCOOL plus mars has 1/3 the size of earth and thus 1/3 the gravity or its just a coincident.

  • @skimowhite586 Mars is 0.533 times the size of Earth, and has 0.37 times its surface gravity.

  • @Helge129 i think you're wrong, because if mars is 0.533 times the size of earth that would imply that mars is about half the size of earth, so i think what you are trying to say is that it has 0.533% more volume than earth, that would make sense since it would live us with 100.533% (which leaves us with 1.00533 times the size of earth. and the gravity would also be 100.37% which is the same as 1.0037 times the gravity of the earth :)

  • @Genomaza9 Mars IS half the size of Earth.

  • @Helge129 did you measure that by diameaatater what ever its spelled diameter or volume

  • @skimowhite586 What comment were you replying to? I posted several...

  • @tomsCOOLdancing en español se dice "retrasado mental"

  • @AlbornozVEVO in romana se zice "retardat mintal"

  • @tomsCOOLdancing and you sir are what astronomers call, " awesome! :D "

  • @skimowhite586 simple arithmetic shows that assuming that the planet is as dense as earth, (not an entirely unreasonable assumption) the gravity on the surface would be, I think, though I am quite tired and something tells me I may have made a mistake, 2.83 times the earth's gravitational pull.

  • @skimowhite586 Unles smy maths is incorrect, (as it was in my earlier comment), the gravitational pull would be about twice that of the earth, for a planet 8 times the mass. Actually, the minimum mass for gleise 581d is about 5.6 earth masses, so the gravity may well be lower still, about 1.78 times earth's.

  • I hope the ufo are living on this planet

  • I hope chuck norris can bring Gliese closer

  • @InySsaI I hope you can stop being retarded

  • @InySsaI if he brings it closer it wont be habitable anymore

  • @InySsaI

    lol there are like milion Glieses, it's just a name depending with which tool they discover them.

  • Gliese 581 apparently doesn't rotate like the Earth and we need to find out if it has a moon. If it does, it must of been captured. If only one side always faces the sun, the always dark side must be solid ice. This was a good milestone for astronomers, but we need to keep looking.

  • @Boogyman4050 but when it orbits around the sun the sides switch

  • @Boogyman4050 Gliese 581 is the name of the star, and you cant assume it has water

  • yey one more planet we can pollute and set off our nukes at go Humanity =)

  • Planet Reach?

  • lets find this planet in Universe sandbox lol....

  • Spartans live there.

  • @LaxBboys That truly is our reach.

  • well it sounds cool BUT what the point? we won't be able to find out more till the yr 3000. & not even attempt to visit it till yr 5000 & its gonna take how long to travel

    120 trillion miles?! way too LONG!. I would LOVE to see what it looks like & what in store for mankind, but unfortunelty we won't ever see it.

  • @MetalHeart8787 If everyone took that view there would never be any advances.

    No our generation will never see it, no our children probably won't either. But if we don't continue research for it, then no generation will ever see it. Same for nearly all research. Very little research ever has an impact for the generation that does the research.

  • @MetalHeart8787 300 years away from our solar system, so by 3000 we might be able to get there

  • @MetalHeart8787 What a low mentality. If the guy who invented the transistor thought like you, you would have no radio, no television, no satellites, no computers.

  • @niilzon GET REAL, i din't say it would never happen.

    I just said its gonna take YEARS to be able to travel to it & have the tecnology.

    the transistor was Right here on Earth.

    we won't ever see it! (people alive today)

    lets fix things here on Earth THEN plan on space travel.

  • Unless they actually see a new planet, THEY HAVE NOT FOUND A NEW PLANET! All hogwosh! They say if a star seems to be pulled by gravity,that it must be a planet!All theory and no proof.Get a deep space telescope set up around or past Jupiter and maybe we will see some new planets.Until then..all speculation.

  • @kodiak1966 Considering the distance of this planet, going behind Jupiter might as well be scooting over a few feet.

  • @PistolxSwap Takes 13 yrs to get to Jupiter but good point ....lol

  • @kodiak1966 Actually, by the time I'm writing this, there are about 10 extrasolar planets directly observable by telescope. And the science behind the other extrasolar planets discovered so far is pretty solid, not just an unconfirmed theory.

  • mayan calender was wrong it was on the news scientists said they were off mabye by 500 years to 5000 years even if these people made the most advanced calender nobody at that time had the technology to prove they were right and we do now and they are wrong so ya

  • @heroxtrainin

    ha ha prove it.

  • You mean the 7 planets we know of, and the last one orbits a little further than Venus.

  • No... you don't need a teleporter, you just have to make a super fast spaceship and have life be able to be sustained on it. it would take hundreds of years maybe yes, but it's possible.

  • Is there a way to go that far? I mean it's easier to find life-like planets, but it is a greater concern as to how we can get there.

  • we need a anywhere door....

  • I know why they are really looking for these planets

  • @KingIshaqq

    Why? Whats your theory?

  • i think we could use a wormhole....

    .

  • we need a stargate

  • i think humans need to find new planets and get out in to space because i think in a few hundread years or so we will be killing each other with nukes so best get out there befor we all become extinct, i think we should make Red Dwarf a reality! i want to be lister tho

  • @MrMushroom90 You stand correct my friend, as stephen hawking said its in our nature to cause war, if we remain on earth we will destroy ourselves (Nuke's) the only way we will avoid this is by spreading out into space (When we actually get Faster Space travel). and by the Year 2530 the Covenant will have discovered our colonies and will declare war against our species and we will Unite Under a single Banner against the Emergence of this Common Enemy.

  • @paldesic2009 you were doing well with your comment until you fucked it up bad right at the end

  • @elmalacopa I intended too thank you so much for noticing what i did there Hahaha :)

  • If we could get to the Gliese planet, we would need to use a Nuclear launch to launch a rocket, and that will probably take 80 years or so. One of the planets has a zone that can inhabit humans...

  • Doesn't anyone think that the solar system looks like an atom?

  • Today we have a number of 529 exopolar planets.

  • when ww3 starts, im moving to this planet. fuck earth, piece of shit rock

  • Lets go buy property now for our great,great,great,great grand children to thrive there where they can thank their grandparents ahead of time buying a land on another planet. Yea!!

  • FFS - Why dont ppl realise that E.T will have us by then? Jeez....

  • 8 solar masses? Gotta be a gas giant then

  • @Icix1 8 times the mass of the earth, not of the sun. If this would be the case, he wouldnt be a gas giant, it would be a star itsself.

  • whos the 1 people disliked this

  • @pingshiyu

    probably.. accidentally pressed the dislike.. probably was too drunk and queer

  • @pingshiyu That one person lives in that planet, dislike how we earthians found his planet and someday to colonize their land.

  • So if you want to move there, just be prepared to weigh 8 times your weight on earth.

  • @srhanna ok

  • just wait, gliese 581 gliza is too far away from its small star,ths star is 1/3 rd of our sun. all planets in gliese are water frozen and gliese 581 e,b may got chance for life because it is near to its star and c,g are too far away the star is very small,so life system is such a difficult one,all are unconfirmed extrasolar planets.

  • Im down who wants to go there lol

  • no ay k ir tan lejos ay k kudar mejor este planeta k ya stamos aki a kien le gusta kambiar de kasa imaginense de planeta a darle kuidando nuestra tierra buena musica d fondo

  • Gliese show always the same face to his star so it's not possible to life on it also if exist water at liquid

  • @pandemonio100 we'll use rockets to rotate the planet, so it would become an earth like planet.

  • Ohw yeah Great!, Let fuck that world up to!!

  • So, Gliese 581c is the name of the star, not the Earth like planet. What is the name of the planet that can support life? 

  • @sokal91 Gliese 581 g :)

  • @sokal91 barry.

  • @sokal91 Gliese 581 is the name of the star.. all other planets are labeled with letters according to when they have been found =)

  • @ugs18 We Should do something - try to go there. If there is one planet with possible life, there have to be other planets. Just imagine what we can learn.

  • i wanna save up for a spaceship and move there not this crappy shithole

  • imma get to mass relay

  • let's go.. I already packed my stuff!!

  • Gliese 581 c is a waterworld so its not as comfortabel to life there as in the video is show

  • @ViktorDieZiege

    I don't think they actually have proven that, they just speculated what may or may not be.

  • I think when everyone moves there I'll rule earth! Ha!

  • these are blowjobs lol

  • Comment removed

  • just guessing

  • new planet my kidz

  • i think life in the universe is a matter of combinations. you get a proper star to provide heat, and a proper planet at the right distance, and there is potential for life. of course there is more to it, but when you consider the size of the universe, the possibilities are almost infinite. for instance, if you want to get a glimpse of perspective... check "vy canis majoris", the largest start known to man. but even it is nothing relative to the universe itself. fascinating stuff indeed.

  • @EugeneRushmore There is way more to it than distance and heat my friend. I am afraid we are stuck where we are...

  • Discovery tv likes to give their guests lots of coffee to make a more dramatic effect for their show lol.  they like to dumb down all the science talk for us common folk too.

  • 'there could be water and life'

    so much for the idea that earth and mankind is 'chosen' one in the galaxy.

    bye bye churchgoers - find another 'exclusive club' to feel cool

  • wow... sometimes you forget how cool astronomy is

  • also, i would like to mention the theory about the world ending at midnight; what about the different time zones??????

  • Yea, packup our stuff, ad leave all mess on earth behind, to create a new mess around there.. ps:goodluck with a 350.000 year travel at 11miles p/s. XD
