Ok, here is my addition: Planet "Achille", based on the real, confirmed exoplanet Proxima Centauri b. The planet is tidally locked (hence the shading) within the habitat zone of its star, Proxima Centauri. It has an active atmosphere that is about 2x thicker than Earth's and driven by thermal convection between the 'day' and 'night' sides. It is in the middle of a transition between the long-decaying of its former greenhouse effect and the eventual stripping of it's atmosphere altogether; but this will happen on a geologic timescale, not relevant to current human exploration.
On the right side (toward the sun) the planet is scorched and superheated by the constant solar noon. On it's left, the midnight shade traps most of the planets water in thick ancient glacial deposits, and winter storms rage in an eternally violent, frigid system of convection storms. In the middle, it has a thin hospitable biome spanning its twilight-zone equator that contains liquid water and possibly, life. This is my first attempt making a planet, so I'm sure it could look better, but I hope ya like it.
Also let me know if I need to make the txt files![[TEA]](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 "Tea [TEA]")
