Sun below horizon over South Atlantic, aurora active

The Sun sits below the horizon over the South Atlantic, casting Earth's northern hemisphere into night. The terminator line runs through the Arctic region, marking the transition from day to dark.

Large-scale cloud patterns show high cirrus formations across the northern polar regions, with no significant convection or jet-stream bands visible at this scale. The atmosphere appears stable and quiet.

Aurora activity is active over Canada and the northern polar regions, with satellite traffic visible in low Earth orbit. The Moon is in a waning crescent phase, appearing as a thin sliver in the night sky.
