Re: With a little bit of imagination...

As far as I understand it, white-dwarfs emit most of their remaining 'feeble' radiation in the infrared band of the spectrum...
Millions of kilometers away, you''ll still have some warmth, but very feeble light.
I imagine that a rocky planet orbiting
such a celestial body at that distance
might be a rather gloomy place to live, no matter how warm it may be at the surface. Mushrooms anyone?
