As of now, we've got the capability to reach Mars in about 8 months. Mars is 35 million miles away.
This new planet is 20 light years away, or 120 trillion miles. If we go at the same speed we go when we head to Mars, it would take us 2,285,714 years to get there.
So no we can't get near it; not until Scotty invents the warp drive.
