With NASA's announcement of the discovery of rocky planet Kepler 10b, the first thing that came to my mind was "is it habitable?"

NASA’s Kepler Mission is using transit photometry to determine the frequency
of Earth-sized planets in or near the habitable zone of Sun-like stars (sometimes referred to as the "Goldilocks Zone", not too hot, not too cold). The
mission reached a milestone towards meeting that goal with the discovery of its
first rocky planet, Kepler-10b.
