Has anyone done any thinking about life on an _"[Eyeball Planet:
wikipedia.com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyeball_planet)"?_ The Wikipedia article I
linked to describes them fairly well. Basically it's a terrestrial type planet within the
goldielocks zone for it's primary star but it's a tidally locked one face like the moon is
with us. So, the sun side would get incredible heat and the backside would be an frozen
wasteland. The interesting thing is a that earth like conditions could be found in a band
around the terminator.

I'm mainly interested in what people thing the weather would be on such a planet? I don't
know anything at all about weather cell foundation. I know that our sun heats the air over
the equator more than it does over the poles. And I know that this uneven heating sets up
air cells that drive our wind and our weather. But I don't know anything more than that.

Comments? Ideas?
