![171-Barnards-Star [171] Barnard's Star - 6 light years away, might serve as a dim orange sun for a family of planets. This illustration by Don Dixon presents a surface view from a hypothetical planet orbiting Barnard's Star, a low-mass red dwarf. The composition features a rugged, rocky terrain in the foreground overlooking a calm body of water, while the sky is dominated by dense, turbulent orange-red clouds illuminated by the star's low-energy output. The scene reflects the scientific speculation of the era regarding the "wobble" of Barnard's Star and the potential for a planetary system within the habitable zone of an M-class main-sequence star. © Don Dixon, featured in Omni Magazine](171-barnards-star-planet-dixon.jpg)
