no chances for life around red dwarfs
(thelemmy.club)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Now that's cool to think about. What if there's a large ring of life around the daylight horizon that hosts complex organisms (would plant-like organisms have red chlorophyll?), and to the sun-facing side everything becomes a constant, immense blare of red light, x-rays, and UV radiation; and to the dark side is constant darkness broken only by the stars, and maybe some fungal/bacterial lifeforms and stuff that can feed on them.
What color would the horizon be? Like the "sunset" of a red dwarf, would it shift to blues and greens and purples or just be invisible?
