I found this site interesting for more information: http://www.openexoplanetcatalogue.com/system.html?id=KOI-351...

The star is about the same size as sol so it might be possible to live on some of the moons of the edge planet if we ever got there.

I think you found my new favorite website.

Some of the closest habitable neighbour stars.

tau Ceti: http://www.openexoplanetcatalogue.com/system.html?id=tau%20C...

Gliese 876: http://www.openexoplanetcatalogue.com/system.html?id=Gliese%...

HD 62509: http://www.openexoplanetcatalogue.com/system.html?id=HD%2062...

Gliese 581: http://www.openexoplanetcatalogue.com/system.html?id=Gliese%...

This is an interesting example, useless at first glance but you know there are a lot of smaller planets closer to the star. http://www.openexoplanetcatalogue.com/system.html?id=HR%2087...

Was Gliese the one where the aliens from the Battleship movie came from? I think I read somewhere some scientist picked it for the movie.
