Description
the exoplanet gliese 876b! a gas giant in the habitable zone of its star! oohh and look, two large moons and one seems to be thriving!
- because the planet is a gas giant, it will most likely have at least 1 large moon with numerous smaller ones.
- two large hypothecial moons are shown here with one of them thriving with life! this is because the planet lies within the pstars habitable zone.
- the planet is said to be cloudless like uranus, with water clouds at the poles, but i've added some clouds as well as a ring system!
i've also tried something new by adding a colour layer our the image to help everything blend in, and i must say, it really helps!
well, enjoy the image!

Gliese 876c is apparently also in the red dwarf's habitable zone .

Yeah, but given its eccentricity & the fact it has been migrating outwards, moons are likely to be dry
