Gliese 832c

Gliese 832c is a super Earth five times more massive than our world.  It is only 16 light years away.  It orbits its red dwarf host star in only 36 days, but that puts it in the tiny star's habitable zone, which means it's a possible home of life.

Some astronomers speculate it may be more of a super Venus, but Gliese 832c will certainly get further study.
