High sun over South America, aurora active over Canada

The Sun blazes overhead the central Amazon region, casting intense light across South America where it's midday. The terminator sharply separates the lit and dark halves of Earth.

Large-scale cloud bands stretch across the tropical Atlantic, with low cumulus formations and scattered convection zones visible in the equatorial regions.

Aurora activity is notable over Canada's northern skies, while the Moon phases into a waxing crescent. Satellite traffic appears as faint trails against the darkened night side.
