Monday, May 25th, 2026 at 3:58:33 AM · 2026/Mt Lassen Volcanic National Park
This long-exposure night sky photograph captures a bright meteor trail cutting diagonally across the upper portion of the frame above Mt. Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California. The foreground is framed by dark silhouetted conifer and deciduous trees, their foliage warmly lit by a rising or setting moon glowing softly behind the tree line on the right side of the image. Countless stars are visible across the deep blue-black sky, creating a rich tapestry of celestial detail. The composition balances the natural forest silhouettes below with the expansive, activity-filled sky above, conveying a profound sense of solitude and cosmic scale. The image was captured with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II and a wide RF15-35mm f/2.8 L lens, lending excellent sharpness and light-gathering capability to the scene.
