A terrestrial planet in orbit of Alpha Centauri B. Despite being named after the Greek counterpart to Mars, Ares shares practically no common features with Mars. Ares lies on the edge of its star's Habitable zone, and is almost completely frozen. Ares has an atmosphere consisting of mostly Water vapor, Nitrogen, and Oxygen. Unlike Mars, Ares has a hot core. The planet even has moving tectonic plates, as they move they crumple the surface ice, and form canyons that are filled by water.

    True, but I somehow managed to do it with Kaotetra, which glows on nearly all sides. For Tempris, it was one side. I tried adding a barycenter, but it did not work.

    @Hyperant The problem with using the atmosphere to get the flair is that when the star is not the parent of the system, the light gets cast onto only one side of the star, and lights up only one side of the stars atmosphere, leaving the other side pitch black.

    It is ok @deepfriedfrenchtoast , I can provide both if you want. To make stars with their color flares, you need to modify the Max Color Value, and the lighting in the terrain tab of the atmosphere tab. Mainly the rayleigh scattering and sun brightness.

    @Hyperant that would be nice, although I am mostly interested in seeing how to make stars that glow regardless of where light is falling on them.
