It's the right size, but too close to the star. They hope to find more planets there, maybe some in the "Goldilocks zone".

If there is one it seems likely that there will be more. I would imagine the goldilocks zone is a bit further out than ours since the A star is hotter.
With the B star swinging around like that, I suspect there wouldn’t be a lot of debris like our kuiper belt.
This is actually some of the biggest science news we’ve seen for quite a while.

Isn’t that where they filmed “Lost in Space”? Is our flag still there?
