Where it is dark right now, drawn as the three twilights and full night instead of a single day-night line. It is calculated from the position of the sun, so it needs no data feed. A slider moves the time 12 hours back or forward.
Where the data comes from
Computed in the browser from the solar position; no external data, always current.
