iss074e0536946 (April 21, 2026) --- The blue lights of fishing boats dot the Gulf of Thailand in this photograph taken at approximately 12:59 a.m. local time from the International Space Station as it orbited 259 miles above Earth. The lights attract and illuminate plankton and small fish, luring squid toward the boats’ fishing nets. The city lights of Bangkok, Thailand (center), are partially muted by cloud cover.
