iss073e1047001 (Nov. 2, 2025) --- Tripoli, Libya—a city founded approximately 2,700 years ago on the Mediterranean Sea coast—is pictured at about 11:10 p.m. local time from the International Space Station as it orbited 259 miles above the African nation. The city’s modern, cool white lights reflect a major transition to LED and solar-powered LED lighting, part of efforts to modernize urban design, enhance safety, and support tourism infrastructure.
