Tau Ceti a near neighbor, at 12 light years away, it has the same spectral classification as our sun. Previously, the nearest planet believed to be capable of supporting life - found just last month - was 42 light years away. They are "coming" closer each and every fucking moment tomorrow they will come up with a planet that is 1 LY away and so on ....  The closest is Alpha Centauri which is 4 light years away. But that is a double or binary system. it maybe less likely that those systems have life. Other stars farther away are too weak, brown and red dwarfs. But Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani are 10 or so light years away and they are systems very similar to ours. The stars are about the same size and they are not binary. Both of these close systems have Planets. And now we know one of them has a planet in the habitable zone. We dont know enough about Epsilon Eridani, but many suspect that it has habitable planets too.
