(ITEM CLAIMED!) What two facts about Gliese 581 d would be most notable to xenobiologists or observational astronomers?
I also have a Cuttlefish Sword up with a different question. :)

Isn't that one of the possibly habitable planets that also may or may not exist? I was doing some reading on it recently. ^^;
Yes and yes. The latter part is more recent news, as further analysis of the star indicates that only planets c, b, and e can actually be confirmed.
That question (and prize) is done! I have another lot up with a Ruby Sequin Party Dress (or Party Jacket) for anyone who can tell me what would happen to its color at 30 meters under sea water without artificial light, and why. :)

The red dress/jacket would appear to be very dark in color, or black. This is because red wavelengths of light are absorbed strongly by water, with increased absorbance at greater depths.
