Fishing Boats Off Thailand Coast | International Space Station

Expedition 71/72 flight engineer and NASA astronaut Don Pettit: "Fishing boats off the coast of Thailand appear as thick green streaks of light in orbital long exposure photography! These lights are lures, and distinct from golden city lights seen on land."

NASA astronaut Don Pettit returned to Earth on April 19, 2025, concluding a seven-month science mission aboard the International Space Station. Pettit spent 220 days in space, earning him a total of 590 days in space over the course of his four spaceflights. He orbited the Earth 3,520 times, traveling 93.3 million miles in low-Earth orbit.
