Nice texture, though I see no clouds in the atmosphere.

But background binary looks weird, there's something square occulting one of them

Are you sure there's no clouds ? I don't think so, plus it looks like there's a kind of small dust storms.

I'd expect more clouds, because more massive than Earth =P

There are clouds on the planet. I had no idea that the more massive, the more clouds? How can that be?

When the planet is forming, it attracts an atmosphere. The more massive the planet, the more of a gaseous envelope it can gravitationally bind to its surface. So a more massive planet can have a thicker atmosphere. Thicker atmospheres can support denser cloud cover.

But I don't see why a super Earth can't have a cloudless sky, assuming the chemistry and temperature conditions are right.
