This imaginative depiction of the exoplanet Kepler-186f, located approximately 500 light-years from Earth, shows the planet's surface illuminated by the deep crimson light from its host star, a red dwarf, giving it a different color than Earth's. Located in the habitable zone, where liquid water may exist, the planet's continental regions absorb red light, suggesting that plant-like life forms have pigments in purple, deep blue, and dark green, almost black. Vast forest areas spread across the planet with a velvety purple-blue texture. The oceans, rich in iron, are deep wine red to dark magenta, and the rippling waters reflect the light of the red dwarf, creating a blood-red glow. The atmosphere is denser and thicker than Earth's, and at the edge of the planet you can see a layer of atmosphere that changes from deep reddish-purple to black, and the clouds hang heavy and grayish-purple. Near the boundary between the planet's day and night sides, the red sun is setting over the horizon, and the sky creates a dramatic gradation from crimson to dark purple and then jet black. On the night side, two small moons shine silver, and on the surface, mountains with exposed crystallized minerals glow copper-red, and lava flows from volcanic activity create orange streaks. Overall, the planet has a mysterious and fantastical atmosphere, as if it is teeming with alien life, but also gives the impression of being somewhat lonely and isolated.
