iss073e1047080 (Nov. 2, 2025) --- Palermo, Italy—a 2,700-year-old city on the Sicilian coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea—is pictured at approximately 10:12 p.m. local time from the International Space Station as it orbited 260 miles above the Mediterranean Sea. The city’s lights reveal a transition from older, amber-hued sodium-vapor lamps in the historic center to cooler, white LED lighting in the surrounding suburbs.
