Gliese mystery
So, you’ve surely seen the news that a supposed habitable planet has been discovered around the Gliese 581 star in the constellation of Libra. The world has been dubbed 581g and is a tidally locked rocky world with the strong potential for liquid water and is certainly an exciting find for a slew of reasons.
More intriguing, though, is the 2008 report from an astronomer who documented a single blast of what can only be described as laser light from nearby Gliese 581e. The question may not be whether there is life in the Gliese system so much as what kind of life is there.
