American astronaut Reid Wiseman, who is currently in the International Space Station, set this week above photo on Twitter.
He photographed the Gulf of Thailand. Bangkok, Thailand’s capital is clearly visible in the picture. Yet it remained guessing where the green light right in the picture came from.
The explanation: the green light is coming from dozens of fishing boats that have hundreds of bright green LED lights to attract plankton. The ultimate goal is to catch squid. They follow the plankton attracted by the light and are thus easy prey for fishermen.
