New found exoplanet around Gliese 581 - Earth sized and in the habitable zone

The actual paper is here http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/...009.5733v1.pdf

It's not the most compelling read, but I think that the most important part is on page 34. It basically says that we have hardly looked thoroughly at the close stars and we already have found a possibly viable planet. This really increases the chances of finding more and a lot more.
