Proxima B

Description

With the discovery of the new planet around Proxima Centauri, I was inspired to make a picture of what I think it looks like from the surface as well as a hypothetical backstory. I also postulate a hypothetical moon. Proxima B is tidally locked but has an atmosphere. The livable zone is on the terninator where liquid water exists in small lakes. Microbial life exists in these small lakes but not much else. The hypothetical moon, however, is a different story. It orbits its parent star once every 22 Earth hours and is twice the size of Earth's moon. It hosts a diverse ecosystem and a civilization at an early Bronze Age level of technology and understanding of the universe.
