Te red dwarf star Gliese 581 seen from the exoplanet Gliese 581d

The red dwarf star Gliese 581 seen from the exoplanet Gliese 581d tempera painting on black paper

This is the way I imagine a Gliese 581d landscape. The planet Gliese 581d is the third planet in the Gliese 581 solar system. The star Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star in the Libra constellation. Gliese 581d is bigger than Earth with a mass 6 times higher. There is liquid water and an atmosphere on Gliese 581d and the planet may host life.

Be cause of then dense atmosphere that allows red light to pass to the surface and red light of the star the Gliese 581d landscapes are warm and red
