Moonlit Night Sky Over Lassen Volcanic Park Trees

Monday, May 25th, 2026 at 3:57:03 AM · 2026/Mt Lassen Volcanic National Park

This long-exposure night sky photograph was taken at Mt. Lassen Volcanic National Park in the early morning hours, showing a deep blue-black sky filled with faint stars. The moon glows brilliantly through the silhouetted pine and deciduous trees in the lower right corner, casting a warm amber light on the surrounding foliage. A faint satellite or aircraft trail is visible as a short streak of light in the lower center of the frame, adding a dynamic element to an otherwise still scene. The trees frame the composition naturally, creating a sense of depth and enclosure around the vast open sky. The mood is quiet and contemplative, evoking the solitude of wilderness camping under a starlit canopy.
