Given the planet's relatively high density, it is conjectured that as Zeus migrated inward, this rocky world was displaced outward, occupying its position right at the "snow line" for Tau Ceti. Being at the snow line while not being a gas giant demonstrates that this world formed much farther inward. This planet is far too cold for potent greenhouse gasses like CO2 to be anything but solid (or "ices"). Hence, a nice crisp blue nitrogen atmosphere covers the planet.
