Gliese 581g / ˈ ɡ l iː z ə / was a candidate exoplanet postulated to orbit within the Gliese 581 system, twenty light-years from Earth. [9] It was discovered by the Lick–Carnegie Exoplanet Survey, and was the sixth planet claimed to orbit the star; [10] however, its existence could not be confirmed by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) / High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher ...
Gliese 581g, unofficially known as Zarmina's World, [28] was a candidate exoplanet claimed to orbit Gliese 581, but its existence was ultimately refuted. [45] It was thought to orbit with a period of 36.6 days at a distance of 0.146 AU, placing it within the habitable zone, and to have a minimum mass of 3.1 M 🜨 .
Methuselah is the only planet to have received a biblical name or nickname, although three other extrasolar planets have been unofficial mythological nicknames (just like in the Solar System), those planets being Dimidium, originally dubbed "Bellerophon"; Gliese 581 g, sometimes called "Zarmina," or even more rarely "Zarmina's World" or ...
The National Science Foundation announced on 29 September the discovery of a fourth super-Earth (Gliese 581g) orbiting within the Gliese 581 planetary system. The planet has a minimum mass 3.1 times that of Earth and a nearly circular orbit at 0.146 AU with a period of 36.6 days, placing it in the middle of the habitable zone where liquid water ...
In September 2010, the team announced the discovery of Gliese 581g in orbit within the Gliese 581 planetary system. The observations place the planet in an area where liquid water could exist on the planet's surface, that is, a habitable zone. If confirmed, this would be the first strong case for a potentially habitable Earth-like exoplanet yet ...

The unconfirmed planet Gliese 581 g is another good candidate. This planet is estimated to be between three and four times as massive as the earth, and as such it is too small to be a gas giant. The orbital period is estimated at 37 days, which places its orbit right in the middle of the habitable zone of the star Gliese 581. [26]
Gliese 581c, [46] Gliese 581g, [47] [48] Gliese 581b, [49] and Gliese 581e [50] may be tidally locked to their parent star Gliese 581. Gliese 581d is almost certainly captured either into the 2:1 or the 3:2 spin–orbit resonance with the same star. [51] All planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system are likely to be tidally locked. [52] [53]
