Some exoplanets are so close to their stars that they're tidally locked, meaning the same side, called the dayside, gets every bit of light. Sound familiar? Happy #MothersDay! #NASAExoplanets
"The City in the Middle of the Night" by Charlie Jane Anders is one of my favorite SF books, and it takes place on the narrow habitable ring of a tidally locked planet between the hot side (day) and the frozen side (night).
