Possible Gliese 581 d

Description

Inhabited maybe?

Gliese 581 d is an extrasolar planet approximately 20 light-years away in the constellation of Libra. Because of its mass, nearly 8 times that of Earth, the planet is classified as a super-Earth. In late April 2009 new observations by the original discovery team concluded that the planet is within the habitable zone where liquid water, and therefore, life, could exist.

There is an uncomfirmed planet gliese 581 g that is near the middle of the habitable zone
If Gl 581 g is a binary planet, it would not be tidally locked with the star

At the far nightside of the hot gliese 581 c planet could be a habitable zone suitable for life

The result is the possibility of 3 planets all supporting life around 1 red dwarf star!
