What star system is that?

Certainly not ours. So it must be heavily 'shopped.

If that's a real photo and taken from the NP of the Earth, then it is not sunset, i.e., when the sun dips below the horizon. Sunset at the NP occurs when the Sun is on or, allowing for refraction, descends slightly below the Earth's equator at the time of the autumnal equinox in the third week of September. If the Sun in this picture is "setting," and considering what appears to be lots of open ice, I'd say the photo was taken in mid to late August.
