@DenCoder resolves YES https://science.nasa.gov/universe/exoplanets/discovery-alert-a-super-earth-in-the-habitable-zone/

@Spin At a distance of 100+ light years it is much farther away than any star listed herehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_stars?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Maybe it counts but I don’t think it’s a guarantee.

List of nearest stars - Wikipedia

@Riley12 Not sure how to find an actual ranking of all the closest stars. But since it’s 137 light years away and there’s estimated 10,000 stars in 100 light years of earth, grok did geometry and says it’s ranked around 23,800th closest. Certainly “nearby” relative to the scale of the universe, but I don’t think that fits any normal use of the word. I like the idea of this resolving yes if it's a star listed on the Wikipedia page but ppl are welcome to disagree.

Depends a lot on what you mean by nearby, but a lot of planets in inhabitable zones are found every year so I think this could be very possible.

what do you mean by nearby star?
