Blog #4: Article Summarization


'Goldilocks' Planet's Temperature Just Right For Life


Scientists recently discovered a special new planet. The new planet, that scientists are calling "Gliese 581-g" is special because it is the right distance from its star to be able to hold liquid water and support life. Astronomers have found hundreds of planets over the past few years, but none are as revolutionary as this one. Anywhere on Earth, if you can find water, you can find life. The only problem is, for now, there is no direct evidence that the planet has water.

I think this article is important because it announces that astronomers have just discovered a planet that might have life on it. Life on other terrestrial bodies has been speculated for a long time.
