Last time I checked red dwarf stars weren't thought to have habitable zones. I'll have to read the whole article but the title seems exaggerated.

I mean I guess you could just terraform.

If the 2nd closest star to us potentially has a planet with life, it bodes well for the idea that life is common in the universe, especially since red dwarf stars are like 80% of the stars out there.

That's true, but those early old stars probably aren't metal :black101: enough to have planets.
