Exoplanet candidate to host life outside the Solar System

A recent study, led by the Centro de Astrobiología (CAB), CSIC-INTA, reports the discovery of the best candidate to date to search for life outside the Solar System. The planet has an equilibrium temperature compatible with the presence of liquid water, and it orbits every 54 days a star cooler than the Sun, but without the problems that planets in the habitable zone of red dwarfs have.
