| I guess we're seeing the surface of an ice world really close.

| Not far from Sol, there is an interesting, old planet. It is an exoplanet. Althrough it orbits its star quite closely, it may have the potential of life.
Here is a view from its surface, where we can see the star and another planet, which is further away from the star.

What planet is this?
Attention through, I modified slightly this planet, to make it more hospitable.

| Ştefan, I will probably never guess it but i think it's the planet from Proxima Centauri

| simonecinque1992, it is a real exoplanet. One that was actually discovered. And it's much more hospitable than most other exoplanets we have found (mainly hot jovians).

| Ştefan, Yeah, I already knew what you were saying and Proxima Centauri is actually a real star and it's the nearest star to the Sun in case you didn't know

| But we haven't discovered yet any exoplanets around Proxima Centauri...

| I think I made it too hard. I'll give you all another clue: the star is about 3,91 parsecs away from Sol.

| Ştefan, So is it Alpha Centaur/Toliman/Bungula/Rigel Kentaurus/Gliese 559? (it was the nearest Yellow Dwarf star to the Sun i found (it's also binary))

| Jack Dole is right! It's your turn now.
Your version of Kapteyn b is a bit smaller than mine, because of a different inclination, probably. I'll post it later, when I'll get to my computer.
EDIT: Closest to Kapteyn's Star

Farthest to Kapteyn's Star
