“Sunrise from the Surface of Gliese 581c” is copyrighted by Karen Wehrstein. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis is an artist's guess of a sunrise on Gliese 581c, an exoplanet 20 light-years away. Gliese 581c is much more massive than Earth and orbits its red dwarf star much closer than Mercury orbits our Sun. It is one of the most Earth-like planets found, residing in its star's habitable zone where liquid water could exist.
