They need to find some BDs a bit closer to home … now that would make it a bit more interesting!

PS: These finds would seem to add yet more permutations to the mix which might also result in more 'Habitable Zones', too eh ?

If they pulled their finger out, they'd be able to get there (or at least start on their way) before the end of this century. Proxima would be a tad warmer!!!!. Not very promising as far as habitable zones go. Especially the Y class BD's. But, you never know....an Europa type moon might have some life on it if it orbited a BD. Tidal forces would keep the interior fairly warm, so an ocean under the ice might be present.
