The Planet GJ 667Cc

GJ667Cc is a planet in a triple star system about 22 light years away from us. Last week, a paper was published the findings that this planet is found safely in the triple point band where water can be found in liquid, solid, and gaseous form (triple point).

GJ667Cc orbits a red dwarf - planet is about 5 times bigger than earth, and its entire orbit takes 28 days. The picture below is an artistss rendition of its sister planet, GJ667Cb which is about 6 times the size of earth. The paper that will publish greater detail about its sister planet, will come out later this month.
