176-Ice-World-2 [176] Ice World 2 – A planet far from its red dwarf sun is eternally frozen. This illustration by Don Dixon depicts a nocturnal vista from the surface of a glaciated exoplanet or moon. The foreground consists of jagged, crystalline ice formations overlooking a dark, reflective sea, while the deep blue sky features a prominent binary star system consisting of a red giant and a bright, compact companion. A small, blue-tinted moon is positioned below the primary stars, and a faint, double-arched light phenomenon on the horizon suggests complex atmospheric refraction; acrylic and gouache on board, 1983
