Despite its close distance to the central #star, the planet Wolf 1069 b receives only about 65% of the incident radiant power of what Earth receives from the sun.
These special conditions make #planets around red dwarf stars like Wolf 1069 potentially friendly to life.

Astronomers find rare Earth-mass rocky planet suitable for the search for signs of life
A newly discovered exoplanet could be worth searching for signs of life. Analyses by a team led by astronomer Diana Kossakowski of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy describe a planet that orbits its home star, the red dwarf Wolf 1069, in the habitable zone.
