A Potentially Habitable Planet? A team of astronomers led by Steven Vogt of the University of California‚ and Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institution of Washington have found a rocky earth-sized planet that might be habitable (Haghighipour‚ Nader 2010).

Terrestrial and Jovian Planets Our solar system contains nine planets‚ which are broken down into 2 classifications known as terrestrial planets and jovian planets. The terrestrial planets are composed primarily of rock and metal. They also generally have high densities‚ slow rotation‚ solid surfaces‚ no rings‚ and few satellites. These planets include Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth‚ and Mars. On the other hand‚ the jovian planets are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. They generally have

It’s density is too small for it to be considered a Terrestrial planet‚ but it also is made out of rock and ice (Kaitlin). To be a Jovian planet it would have to be made of of gas‚ so it was classified
