About this work

iss073e0842436 (Sept. 15, 2025) --- At top left, the bright lights of the Korean Peninsula abruptly end at the border between South Korea and North Korea highlighting stark differences in energy infrastructure. The Seoul Capital Area—comprised of Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi Province, and home to over 25 million people—is prominent in this nighttime image. Japan stretches across the center of the frame near Earth’s horizon, illuminated beneath a red-yellow airglow.
