Description
Aegis true color and brightness as seem by human eyes... (at least until I figure out better view ~ w~ )
talking of view, I just love the view of the Kharst Plateau and the Oceanus Meridiani <3
Updated color temperature to Ran's actual light...

Looks somewhat dim... Could a low-light planet like that really maintain liquid water?

Actually, Y E S
This dim light is around 88.44% of light Earth does receive, proportionally, average surface temp with a thick atmosphere would easily top 12ºC, which still above needed to freeze it.
Ran's solar Lum. = 0,34
Aegis (new) dist. = 0,62 AU
As light spread inverse to the distance squared, then:
0,34/(0,62)^2 = 0,8844 or 88,44%
If I plug in the previous 1,52 AU value, it goes to 10%, or proportionally 2ºC, which I thought it wasn't very good, is ~1/3 the light Mars receives, ew.

Interesting.
Also, great work actually doing the math and making a realistic picture based on it. This is one of the reasons I've always liked "hard" scifi.
