In the 1600s, Galileo used telescopes to demonstrate the that Venus has phases and the moon has craters. He was a champion of heliocentrism. Unfortunately for Galileo, religious leaders at the time were not very accepting of views of the universe where the Earth was not at the center. He was forced to recant and spent the rest of his life under house arrest.
If earth was 50% larger in diameter gravity would be so high that chemical rockets would'nt be able to break the earths pull and our intire space adventure vould be nothing but a Jules Verne story.
So if the folks at Kepler 425b are like us we're just a story and a dream for them, nothing they can come and see.
My point is, it's too far way for any of our instruments to measure the 'actual' habitable zone of that system. Too much guesswork going on.
