Suns-Set

1988

This was a tiny painting as I recall.   The original title was "Suns-Set on Alpha Tucanae 9" or some such.   That is inaccurate.   The two suns in the Alpha Tucanae system are about 2.6 AU apart (240 million miles).   Not a good orbit for viewing a double sunset as shown in the picture, nor even for having Earth-like worlds.   There would be too much tidal perturbation.   So I dropped the Alpha Tucanae part and just called it "Suns-Set."   These things are important!
