iss073e0848542 (Sept. 17, 2025) --- Green fishing boat lights lure squid, mackerel, and amberjack in the Taiwan Strait near China’s coast, glowing with white LED city lights from Fuzhou to Shenzhen. In contrast, Taiwan’s coast (right) from Taipei to Kaohsiung glows amber from sodium streetlights. The International Space Station captured this view from 261 miles above the East China Sea at 11:55 p.m. local time.
