Meteor Streak Over Lassen Volcanic National Park Pines
Monday, May 25th, 2026 at 4:12:32 AM · 2026/Mt Lassen Volcanic National Park
This long-exposure night sky photograph was taken looking upward through a canopy of pine trees at Mt. Lassen Volcanic National Park in late May 2026. A bright meteor streak is clearly visible in the left portion of the frame, cutting diagonally across the star-filled sky. The moon, likely just out of frame in the upper right, provides a soft ambient glow that partially washes the sky and illuminates the pine trees with warm golden-brown light. Stars are visible throughout the frame despite the moonlight interference, and the silhouetted pines frame the scene with a natural, organic border. The overall composition conveys a sense of solitude, wilderness, and the quiet grandeur of a night spent under open skies.
