00:00Imagine you just landed on LHS 1140B, 48 light-years from Earth.
00:07You look up.
00:08The sun never moves.
00:11A huge red sun hangs frozen in the sky.
00:15It never rises.
00:16It never sets.
00:18It is always sunset.
00:21You are standing on the edge of an eyeball.
00:24In front of you, a warm, steaming ocean stretches to the horizon.
00:30Behind you, a wall of ice, miles thick, covering the entire dark side of the planet.
00:37The sky is not blue.
00:40It is a hazy, pale white, and the light is red and dim.
00:45So what would live here?
00:48Plants would not be green.
00:50They would be black or deep red to soak up that red sunlight.
00:55Picture giant floating lily pads covering the ocean like a black carpet.
01:00And if you look into the water, no fish like ours.
01:04Maybe translucent, jellyfish-like creatures glowing in the dark.
01:09Or eyeless white shrimp living under the ice where there is no light at all.
01:15A red sun, a black ocean, and glowing alien life.
01:20This is LHS 1140B.
