The habitable zone for a red dwarf star is very, very close.

Close enough that the planet would be tidal locked so the same face is always facing the star.

Worse, red dwarf stars are quite variable and have lots of flares making temperatures vary wildly.

So they haven’t found another planet, only defining the parameters of where to look.

Well there are numerous Class M planets in the galaxy. And the inhabitants of those planets are humanoid. They all speak English. And the females are attractive to earth men such as Captain Kirk.

Not the first time this has been in the news. It’s a safe bet to suppose that there are many planets in the universe with Earthlike qualities. I just hope that there is no Hillary Clinton on that planet.

Earth-like planet may exist in a nearby star system

Oh, dear, not this again.

IT'S A FLARE STAR, people. With powerful X-ray flares that can, that those distances, cleanse all life off any putative planet. Come. On. Stop grasping at straws.

Nearby is a relative term.

Lest we forget, it would take about 8,000 years to go a single lightyear at our current fastest speeds. So it’s about 128,000 years to this red dwarf. Maybe we can talk all the dimmos into making the trip? Then again, if there was anybody there, sending them there would be an act of WAR!
