Rather than finding anything on the sun-like star on other people's blogs i found a ton of blog posting on this earth-like planet instead by other bloggers. There is a new Earth-like planet that has been discovered by European astronomers, using a telescope in La Silla in the Chilean Andes, located in the constellation Libra. It is truly a great discovery the first possible planet containing water and possible life. Its sun is a third the size of ours, and 50 times colder. This planet known as Gliese 581 c, is closer to its sun but is still the same range of temperature as we have here on earth, between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 and 40 degrees Celsius).
This thought of a planet reflecting our own is so insane to think about. I think it would be amazing to find forms of life, we could also learn so much from this as I said in my other blog, just observations could teach us a great deal. I was looking for information on the newly discovered planet and when I went to read about it, this is all I could find, everyone else was blogging about Gliese 581 c.

Kelsey: I'm a bit confused by this post. Is Gliese 581 c the newly discovered planet? If not, what's the connection between the two? As a blog writer, you should be making connections between your ideas and providing new insight. Clear, concise writing is a crucial part of that process.
This would be greatly improved with some revision, especially your first sentence...
i edited it a little, soory about that.
