Low sun over the Pacific, aurora faintly active

The Sun sits low in the eastern sky over the Australia / New Zealand region, casting long shadows as Earth rotates into evening. This positioning marks the start of the day side's transition toward night.

A high band of cirrus clouds stretches across the southern hemisphere, with no major storm systems visible at this scale. The jet stream appears to be tracking eastward through the region.

Aurora activity is faintly visible in the polar regions, while several satellites are visible in geostationary orbit above the Pacific. The Moon is in its waning crescent phase.
