Yeah and its not really habitable by humans. Its hard to just be there on Earth where there is oxygen.

There’s not really any data other than a rough distance from its star. The atmosphere could be thick enough and with the right combination of greenhouse gases that the temperature at the equator is 23°C year round. We do know that it’s only receiving ~30% of the energy from its star as earth does from the sun, which is what they’re basing the low temperature estimates on.

The article itself also says -70 which, still very cold, is much better.
