Parent Star: Gliese 876 (M4 V) in the constellation of Aquarius is located at a distance of 15.4 Light Years from our Solar system Co-ordinates of Right Ascension: 22 53 13.4 & Declination: -14 15 13. The apparent Magnitude of the star is 10.17. The Inner Edge of Habitability Zone is 0.06 AU & the Outer Edge of Habitability Zone: 0.2 AU and the estimated stellar lifespan of the star is 305175 million years. Orbiting around Gliese 876 are planet Gliese 876 b, Gliese 876 c, Gliese 876 d.

Gliese 876 d the planet is believed to be a Clarified Neptunium planet and its existence has been confirmed. The planets appearance is blue and cloudless . The planet is positioned out side of Habitability Zone at Mean Orbital Distance of 0.02 + 0.0000005 AU and the estimated radius of the planet is 7.314 1 0.954 Earths . The planet Orbits around the star every 255.87 + 0.06 Days and was discovered by Rivera et al in 2005. Superearth Gliese 876 d is only 7.5 Earth masses, making it as of mid 2005 the smallest extrasolar planet known around a normal star. At such a low mass, it must be composed primarily of rock, although its rocky surface may lie beneath a thick layer of super condensed volatiles and a dense atmosphere. If, on the other hand, most of the planet's volatiles have been lost to early bombardment or were never present in large quantities, the rocky surface of Gliese 876 d may be visible from space. Baked both internally by the heat of radioactive decay and externally by its close proximity to its star, such a massive terrestrial world have a thin crust riddled with tectonic rifts and possibly even oceans of magma exposed on the surface. |
