&#039;&#039;&#039;Gliese 581 d&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{pronEng|ˈgliːzə}}), also known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Wolf 562 d&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;HIP 74995 d&#039;&#039;&#039;, is a &amp;quot;[[super-Earth]]&amp;quot; or large [[terrestrial planet| terrestrial]] [[extrasolar planet]] orbiting the [[red dwarf]] [[star]] [[Gliese 581]].&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; Gliese 581 d is near the outer edge of the [[habitable zone]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Discovery ==&lt;br /&gt;
The planet was discovered by the team of [[Stéphane Udry]] of the [[Geneva Observatory]] in [[Switzerland]] using the [[HARPS]] instrument on the [[European Southern Observatory]] 3.6 [[meter]] [[telescope]] in [[La Silla]], [[Chile]] on 24 [[April 2007]]. Udry&#039;s team employed the [[radial velocity]] technique, in which the size and [[mass]] of a [[planet]] are determined based on the small perturbations it induces in its parent star’s [[orbit]] via [[gravity]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The team is confident that the planet exists but recognizes that unlikely events could mimic its existence.  They believe the issue will be settled by upcoming studies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Climate and habitability ==&lt;br /&gt;
Although Gliese 581 d orbits outside the theoretical [[habitable zone]] of its star, scientists surmise that conditions on the planet may be conducive to supporting life.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/070618_mm_gliese_581d.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Scientists originally believed that Gliese 581 d would in fact be too cold for [[liquid]] [[water]] to exist, and therefore could not support [[life]] as we understand it. However, due to a theorized [[greenhouse effect]], research now suggests that [[atmospheric]] conditions on the planet could create [[temperature]]s at which water can exist, and therefore the planet may be capable of supporting life. However, these conditions are based on models of the planet, and have not been directly observed.&lt;br /&gt;
