Ok, this is a little old news but thought it would be a little fun with our "life outside the Earth" talks. This is a rather large planet but still may be a rocky world. And it is in the "just right" area to its sun to be a good timp for liquid water. But due to the closeness to its sun this planet will be tidally locked with its sun. But the twilight area may be right for life.
I still think there are way too many "ifs" to say anything in stone yet. But this may be the best chance to hold some type of life. Thought this is most likely a single celled sludge, it is still an amazing find.
