In May, French astronomers identified Gliese 581d, pronounced “gleezer”, which is far closer at around 20 light years away.

今年五月，法国天文学家发现宜居行星“格利泽581d”，该行星比“开普勒22b”要近得多，距离地球约20光年。

It is about six times the mass of Earth and is one of a family of at least six planets.

“格利泽581d”的质量约为地球的六倍，是一个包含至少六颗行星的家族中的一员。

In August, a team from Switzerland reported that another planet called HD 85512b and 36 light years away seemed to be habitable.

今年八月，来自瑞士的一个研究团队报告称他们发现了另一个疑似宜居行星“HD 85512b”，距离地球36光年。

The planet is in the constellation of Vela, measures around 3.6 times the Earth's mass.

该行星属于船帆星座，质量约为地球的3.6倍。

According to an online catalogue that indexes bodies outside our solar system by the Planetary Habitability Laboratory (PHL) of the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo, a total of 47 exoplanets and exomoons are potential habitable candidates but not enough research has been done to be sure.

据阿雷西沃波多黎哥大学的行星适居性实验室在网上发布的太阳系外天体目录，共有47个系外行星和系外卫星可能是宜居星球，不过还需更多研究才能加以确定。
