Gliese 667 triple-star system. Computer illustration of a view across the surface of the exoplanet Gliese 667Cd,looking towards its parent star,Gliese 667C (upper centre),in the sky on the horizon. In the background,the other two stars of this triple-star system (Gliese 667A and Gliese 667B) are visible,with another planet,the newly discovered Gliese 667Ce,seen as a crescent (upper centre-left). A record-breaking three planets in this system are super-Earths,lying in the habitable zone around the star,where liquid water could exist,making them possible candidates for the presence of life. This is the first system found with a fully packed habitable zone |
