Soon you'll be like pluto
The Gliese 581 planetary system now has four known planets, with masses of about 1.9 (planet e, left in the foreground), 16 (planet b, nearest to the star), 5 (planet c, center), and 7 Earth-masses (planet d, with the bluish colour). Above.
So they found a possible habitable planet… yay! wait I’ll never get to see it in my life time 
now I’ll never be able to escape from flying penguins with laser beam eyes. Of course here’s why Voyager 1 has traveled the distance 100 AU from our sun, after 30 years of traveling in space, at the rate it’s moving it will take approximately 18,750 years for voyager to travel one light-year. This places star is supposed to be 20.5 away so that’s only 384,375 years that it’d take voyager 1 to get there… and that’s close?
