The comparisons between the Earth and Gliese 581g should not be overstated, however. Even if Gliese 581g can sustain organisms, it would be a very different place to live.
Chajnantor in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile is hostile, threatening, and... a great place to view outer space because there is no humidity in the air.
It turns out your belly button is like a rainforest, at least in terms of biodiversity. Scientists hope to clarify what the thousands of microbes that our navels harbor are doing, and why they're there in the first place.
