A possibly-habitable "super-Earth" seems to be orbiting 40 Eridani A, the star eventually picked for planet Vulcan.
Higher gravity, closer to its star so maybe hotter (maybe too hot for liquid water). It's not a bad fit for our favorite pointy-eared XO's homeworld.

Well, shit, we'd better point a telescope that way and see if there's anyone watching us! XD
