iss073e0742298 (Aug. 30, 2025) --- City lights beneath the clouds highlight the North China Plain near the Yellow Sea, where concentrated points of light mark fishing boats using illumination to attract anchovies, squid, sardines, and other species. Across the Yellow Sea, urban areas in South Korea are visible beneath a diffuse atmospheric glow near the horizon. In the foreground, the Canadarm2 robotic arm extends from a grapple fixture on the International Space Station's Harmony module.
