Astronomers have calculated that an atmosphere may have developed on the planet and this would allow it to have an average temperature on the day side of plus 13 degrees Celsius, let's remember that the average temperature of the earth is plus 15 degrees Celsius; on the night side it would be a permanent winter, but on the day side there would be pleasant temperatures, in fact they have posted the image above.

But it would be an ideal world as the researchers have pointed out to study with James Webb, this planet is close to Earth, but with our current technology it would take us thousands of years to get there, this one in particular maybe hundreds of thousands of years with our current technology, we do not have the technology to travel to them, not even to the closest exoplanet which is the next centauri, we do not have the technology to travel to them in a reasonable time.
