182-sunset-on-nuala-exoplanet-dixon [182] Sunset On Nuala This artwork illustrates a sunset on an extrasolar planetary surface, featuring a distant sun-like star descending toward a vast liquid horizon. The foreground depicts a textured, rocky coastline with evidence of wave action or sedimentation, while the atmosphere exhibits a smooth vertical gradient from deep indigo to warm orange, suggesting Rayleigh scattering within a thick atmosphere. The star's reflection creates a distinct glitter path across the surface of the planetary ocean. Illustration by Don Dixon. detail from cover art for "Fire Sanctuary"
