Thank you!
Still, there are two suns in this system! Not impossible in nature: last
year, astronomers found a planet in a three star system!
Here the (small) yellow sun is far away, about the distance of Pluto or even
more. Its light is overshadowed by the prime source. Even so, in this scene,
it is a light source too, contributing slightly to the whole.
