Fifth part of the Perfect Sunset Forever Series started in Fall 2014.

This planet orbits a small and dim M-type star and always gives to it the same face, just the same way Moon does with Earth.

Because of this, there is a side with a perpetual day and other with an endless night. But there's a line of sunset/sunrise between them.

There the sun never sets nor rises, but stays still in the sky (Well, mostly. The inclination of the planet's axis gives it a small apparent motion) in a sunset that never stops being a sunset. Here the snow will stay pink and lovely until this star dies, 10 trillion years in the future.
