Any of you watch the news in the past month?

Earth-like planet found around Gliese. Can't remember if it was b, c or d. The planet is much closer to it's star than Earth is to Sol, though Gliese is a red dwarf, so the 'Goldilocks Zone' therefore, is much closer than ours would be.

Sad considering the star is close to death, since it's already been through the red giant phase, by the time we achieve space flight (if...), the star would probably die, thus, the planet in question wouldn't be open to habitability.
I'm more interested in kepler 11, it has 6 earth like planets and I think some of them are in the goldilocks zone but I'm not sure
