One of the closest planets

Recently, a new planet has been discovered- "only" 39 light years away. Well hey, that's not bad given how far other planets are away from our solar system- not bad at all. However, it's extremely difficult to think of a planet being so far away. Anyways, this planet is estimated to be 1.6 times the mass of our own Earth, and like Earth, is also rocky. However, this is when just about all of the similarities end- especially when we think about it's surface temperature as well as the incredibly close proximity it has to its own star. In fact, it's orbit would fit exactly thirty times inside the orbit of Mercury! Despite the fact that it orbits so close to its parent star, its temperature is not much hotter than that of Mercury. In fact it's about the same. About 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Yes, that's probably too hot for life to exist. I wonder if this world spins? Anyways, it's parent star is significantly smaller than ours, which is probably one of the main reasons for why the temperature doesn't surge that much. They say water couldn't exist... or could it? Well, I'm not sure. However, I think it might be possible that this planet does contain water vapor on its surface. Why? Because although the inner planets of our solar system don't contain water, that doesn't mean that this particular planet has to be the same. Sure, it's truly hot over there. However, if this is a planet that doesn't spin, then this may leave a very slim sliver that exists between the light side and the dark side. You might think that any water wouldn't stay here in this tiny sliver of perhaps habitable area. Perhaps this is so, because as soon as it moved from the dark side to the light side, or vice versa, then this water would either totally evaporate become totally frozen over.
