I would love to see pictures of this planet when they become available.

And now we have a new planet to potentially live on. =P

The camera that can "take pictures" of such a planet has not been invented yet.

You don't want to live on that planet either. At 3-4 times earth's mass (and roughly the same diameter), gravitational force would press you onto the ground.. and a tidally locked planet has other living problems, too. Let's not forget a red dwarf is a star in its final life cycle. If you wanted to emigrate to another star system, choose a star that has roughly the same age as our star...
