Circling Gliese 581 is the most earth-like planet found so far (as of June 2007) outside our solar system.

Cruise local space to -1, -1, 0 to see where it is relative to other nearby stars.

Old Town is very nice to walk around in, lots of windy old roads and a street-bazaar that i unfortunately missed since i was only there at night. I was getting taken around, so i don’t remember names but there was a little cafe near there, and a really cool renaissance-era restaurant, they sell sugar & cinnamoned almonds near one of the gates.

Outside of old town i played hack-sack with some people i ran into on the street. :)

The rock that finally got the IAU to adopt a more formal definition of “planet”, which excluded Pluto.
