Possibly.
"A red dwarf star 20 light-years away is again providing hints that it hosts the first definitively habitable planet outside our Solar System.
The planet Gliese 581d is at the colder outer edge of the "Goldilocks zone" in which liquid water can be sustained.
Now a study in Astrophysical Journal Letters suggests its atmosphere may keep things warm enough for water."
