The fully robotic telescope discovered these two planets. The outer planet is intriguing at 1.5x the earth's diameter (hence a super-earth) and far enough away from its rather dim host that it might harbor liquid water. Pretty interesting. And if we do discover some earth like planets there seems to be a good chance that they might be orbiting red dwarves as they are not excessively hot.
