Mustafar is tame compared to this!

Artist's conception of what sunrise on Gliese 876d might look like!

It is beautiful though.

Here is the apparent size of Gliese 876 as seen from Gl 876 d, compared with the Sun as seen from Earth, in an image made using Celestia..

Bear in mind that Gliese 876 is actually quite a bit smaller than the Sun, but this planet is so close to it that it looks huge.

I've switched off the atmosphere display on both planets, for an easier comparison; but since Gl 876d has a mass between 5.88 and 7.5 times that of the Earth, it almost certainly has an atmosphere of some sort, probably so thick that you can't see the star.

It would also be very hot there; which the APOD image shows quite nicely. The surface of the planet may in fact be completely molten. Not the most appealing of worlds, even if you are a salamander.
