Description

Stars known as red dwarfs might have larger habitable zones friendly to ‘life as we know it’ than once thought, researchers say. Red dwarfs, also known as M stars, are dim compared to stars like our sun and are just 10 to 20 percent as massive. They make up roughly three-quarters of the stars in the galaxy, and recently scientists found red dwarfs are far more common than before thought, making up at least 80 percent of the total number of stars. The fact that red dwarfs are so very common has made astrobiologists wonder if they might be the best chance for discovering planets habitable to life as we know it. More and more planets are getting discovered around red dwarfs — for instance, a potentially habitable "super-Earth" at least 4.5 times the mass of Earth, GJ 667Cb, was recently found orbiting the red dwarf GJ 667C. All the credits go to Abreojos for the beautiful picture of the mountains. Thanks for all the lovely Comments & favs Zoom in!!

one new outstanding creation with a wonderful feeling of 3D and depth ! Have you noticed a feature of new exoplanets discovered Gliese ... since they are very often orbiting red dwarf ...

It feels like you could just reach out and touch that planet. It is so realistic. Wonderful looking scene. Well done.

Beautiful space image. I'm not to sure I'd want to inhabit a planet with a mass of 4.5X that of Earth's. I have hard enough time getting out of a chair on this one.
