Nightfall over the Pacific, aurora faintly visible

The Sun is currently positioned over Indonesia / Australia, casting the southern hemisphere into night. This places most of Earth's surface in darkness, with the terminator moving across the globe.

Low cumulus clouds dominate the view, creating a patchy veil across the planet's surface. No major weather systems are visible at this scale, leaving the atmosphere relatively calm.

Aurora activity is faintly detectable over Canada and Alaska, with satellite traffic visible in the geostationary belt above. The Moon is in its waxing crescent phase, appearing as a thin sliver in the early morning sky.
