KOI-2626.01 ("Kepler object of interest") is an earth-sized planet in a system of three or even four small suns. It is thought to be warmer than Earth and is likely to be some kind of desert world.

Nice stuff, but requires a follow-up! :) Carry on with this idea.

Nice indeed. Great clouds and coulisse-like effect in the mountains.

This has a really nice color scheme for the atmosphere, I like it a lot.

It's ironic you posted this today on facebook just a few posts away from an article from Space.com about Binary star-systems possibly not able to support atmospheres on planets.

Thank you  :) . I have looked up the article on space.com. I agree that planets in orbit around several stars are unstable. However, the situation is different if the planet orbits only one of the stars in a multiple system, as it is the case in this scenario. Another example is Alpha Centauri. There are two stars in a widely spaced orbit and each individual star has zones were planets might find stable orbits. Viewed from such a planet, the second star would still be visible in the sky.

That is a lovely composition. 3 suns indeed. Greedy. :D
