Juuuust right. Not too far from its star, not too close. So it could contain liquid water. The planet itself is neither too big nor too small for the proper surface, gravity and atmosphere. It's just right. Just like Earth. Full: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100929/ap_on_sc/us_sci_new_earths

Steven Vogt, leader of the team that detected Gliese 581g, said he respects the work of the researchers who questioned the planet's existence yesterday (Oct. 12). He said he cannot comment on the scientists' results, since he hasn't seen their data. But he has confidence in his own team's conclusions. http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20101014/sc_space/astronomerstandsbydiscoveryofalienplanetgliese581gamiddoubts
