Da-ba-dee, da-ba-di...
What's that streak of blue in this photo taken from the International Space Station?
You're looking at the west coast of India (near Mumbai) and the Arabian Sea. The bright white points are cities on the land—but the blue dots are fishing boats in the sea, which use blue and green lights to attract squid, shrimp, sardines, and mackerel.
This image was taken by astronaut Chris Williams on Feb. 22, 2026. Follow ISS for more photos and updates from our orbiting laboratory!
Image description: Earth, as seen at night, fills the top half of this image taken from the International Space Station. Networks of bright white lights give way to a thin stream of blue and green dots. A faint green airglow is visible along the bottom arc of Earth's horizon, with parts of the station sticking up from the very bottom.
