The article is about a new planet being found in the Gliese galaxy. The new found planet is about three times the size of our earth but the temperature and structure of the planet is good enough to sustain life. Scientists are saying that the temperature is the thing that might sustain life and the fact that the chance of life surviving there is about 100%. Gliese-581 is the name of the planet and scientists are speculating that there is already water there from comets, meteors, and etc. They are also saying that there might already be life there but if there isn't, it might start in 300 years or so. The only thing they are not sure about is whether or not the atmosphere of the planet is capable of sustaining the temperature. Otherwise, the winds would make it a very stable environment for a species to evolve.
