        I wonder what that would do to weather patterns. I'd think you'd have some pretty intense stuff along the terminator -- nm - TWuG Aug 24, 10:58
      - I think maybe they meant that it doesn't rotate relative to the sun like how our moon is relative to us? -- nm - oblique Aug 24, 10:40

        "Don't you go reading my mind between four and five. That's Willie's time!" -- nm - ML Aug 24, 10:22
  - reading through, it's a lot closer to that star than we are but that star is a lot less intense than Sol so it evens out somewhat - ML Aug 24, 10:18 2
    - Heh, if we can figure out how to get there, we'll figure those out. - spamlet Aug 24, 10:43 1
      - but, red dwarf, so natural mood lighting. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 10:44
