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...

I could have swore red dwarfves live for a stupid long time and will be the last stars left when all the others have died out.

They're much smaller and have less fuel than stars like our sun, but they barely burn any feul so in order to actually receive warmth from it you have to be really close.

Yep, they live for hundreds of billions of years. Probably longer than the existence of our Universe.
