The well-lit border between South Korea and the less-illuminated North Korea

iss073e0824280 (Sept. 14, 2025) --- The well-lit border (center) between South Korea and the less-illuminated North Korea is framed by the moonlit Sea of Japan (bottom) and the Yellow Sea (top), which is dotted with the bright lights of fishing boats. These lights are used to attract nocturnal fish, including anchovies, mackerel, and squid. The International Space Station was orbiting 262 miles above the Bohai Sea at approximately 12:43 a.m. local time when this photograph was taken.
