Gemini-97f is a tidally locked exoplanet, with one side constantly exposed to its star, reaching extreme temperatures, while the other side remains in perpetual, icy darkness. Tenebralis aeterna, ‘The Plant of Eternal Shadows,’ is one of the few life forms to have evolved on the night side. Requiring no sunlight, it uses its deep roots to absorb geothermal heat and employs bioluminescence to attract pollinators.
