  • aren't red dwarf stars much older th, and emit less heat than the Sun?

    So, in theory, a exoplanet orbiting one of these (RD) can be much closer to it's host star, or have a tighter habitable zone than that of our solar system? 

  • @LaPersonaNonGrata Correct!

  • Only a matter of time till we discover an exoplanet with a 1.03 Earth radius in a habitable zone.
