Alteias

Alteias is a fictional planet located in the Kepler-186 star system, approximately 500 light-years from Earth. The planet is roughly Earth-sized, with estimates suggesting a diameter of 1.1 times that of Earth. It orbits within the habitable zone of its M-class red dwarf star, Kepler-186. This orbital position means Alteias potentially receives enough stellar radiation to support liquid water on its surface, a key ingredient for life as we know it.

The atmosphere of Alteias is believed to be composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen, with trace amounts of other gases. Surface temperatures are thought to be moderate, though variations likely exist depending on latitude and atmospheric conditions. Evidence gathered from telescopic observations suggests the presence of significant bodies of liquid water, possibly oceans or large lakes, covering a substantial portion of the planet's surface. Polar ice caps have also been detected, indicating a presence of frozen water.

Vegetation, characterized by its deep red and purple hues, is thought to cover much of Alteias' landmasses. This unique coloration is attributed to the planet's inhabitants' adaptation to the light spectrum emitted by its red dwarf star. The flora on Alteias is believed to be highly efficient at photosynthesis, utilizing the dimmer, redder light more effectively. While no sentient life has been definitively confirmed, the planet's conditions are considered highly conducive to supporting a diverse range of biological organisms. Further research and exploration are ongoing to understand the full scope of Alteias' environment and potential for life.
