    They are both in the Goldilocks zone BUT, if you are hoping they might be naturally habitable to life, the catch is they are orbiting a red dwarf star, and, for various reasons, that would give a low probability that conditions on their surface would be favorable for life. To see why, read;

    But there might be a combination of technological workarounds that if we wanted to live there.

    Those red dwarf's are pretty deadly though, and to be in the goldilocks zone means you have to be close because of the lower luminosity so you are close to all the crap it spews out. You would need significant radiation shielding to live their I expect.
