A closer view using images centered over Indonesia is shown below. The small eye of Category 1 Typhoon Phanfone could be seen in the northern portion of the satellite scene. Bright areas of sun glint (south of the eclipse shadow) highlighted regions having light winds — and therefore a relatively flat water surface which behaved like a mirror to reflect a larger amount of sunlight back toward the satellite.
