Sun overhead Australia / New Zealand, terminator over Africa

The Sun is currently overhead the Australia / New Zealand region, casting daylight across that area. The terminator line runs through Sub-Saharan Africa, marking the boundary between day and night.

Large-scale cloud patterns show mid-level cloud cover dominating much of the Southern Hemisphere. Jet-stream dynamics are creating distinct banding in the atmosphere, particularly over the Indian Ocean.

Aurora activity is moderate, visible in polar regions with green and purple glows. The Moon is in a waning crescent phase, and numerous satellites are visible in low-Earth orbit.
