Night falls over the Pacific, aurora active

The Sun is directly overhead Indonesia / Australia, marking midday in that region. The terminator cuts across the Pacific Ocean into the Atlantic, with the western hemisphere entering night.

Low cumulus clouds drift over the eastern Pacific and central North America, while a jet stream pattern suggests stable atmospheric flow across the continent.

Aurora activity is visible over Canada's northern regions, and the International Space Station orbits Earth in low-Earth orbit. The Moon is in its waxing crescent phase.
