Unlikely on these... "planets". These places are close to absolute zero, and there is very little light. Life is much more likely on the planets and moons being discovered in obit around other stars. However, we can only find them by detecting the wobbles on those stars, evidence of the gravitational pull of its planets. This only works with large planets, and gives us very little idea as to the conditions on those worlds.
