How far away is gliese 581-D? (Sorry if I got the name wrong. I meant the Goldilocks planet)
The Gliese 581 Star System is about 20 light years away. Gliese 581 C, D and G have potential, based on current theories.
“G” is actually between C and D, so being smack in the middle of the theorized “Goldilocks zone”, The chances are better for it than C and D
