Scientists from the University of Hertfordshire and Queen Mary, London, said that broadcast the planet Gliese 581d may be a message from intelligent creatures that inhabit it. Light signals were captured five years ago, in 2010, but until recently it was thought that this “interference” from the flares of stars. Prior to this, on August 28, 2009, addressed to the world was made about the transfer of 25,880 text messages from Earth.
The newly received signals, scientists have carefully studied their nature, and in the course of studies have concluded that there is a possibility intelligent life on exoplanet in the red dwarf star Gliese 581.
The planet Gliese 581d is located about 20 light-years from Earth in the constellation Libra. Because of its weight, at 6-8 times the mass of our planet, Gliese 581d klassfitsiruetsya as super-Earths. In size it is larger than the Earth is approximately two times. Despite the fact that warms the huge red dwarf planet, there is a hypothesis that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the world, not only does not allow it to freeze, but also provides a decent living conditions.
It is worth noting that not all scientists agree that Gliese 581d really exists. For example, in 2012 the Russian astronomer from Pulkovo Observatory Roman Baluev expressed serious doubts about the reality of the planet Gliese 581d. In July 2014, scientists from the University of Pennsylvania, resorting to calculations, denied the existence of the planet, saying that actually observed phenomena were artifacts of stellar activity.
