Sun overhead the Indian Ocean, terminator crossing Central America

The Sun is directly overhead the Western Indian Ocean, marking the center of Earth's daylight side. This positions Central America and the Caribbean in deep nighttime darkness.

Large-scale cloud patterns show low cumulus formations across the eastern Pacific and subtropical high-pressure zones dominating the Atlantic. The jet stream remains relatively stable with a slight dip over the eastern Pacific.

Aurora activity is moderate, visible primarily over northern Canada and Alaska's night skies. A satellite belt is visible in geostationary orbit above the Americas, with the Moon in its waxing crescent phase.
