Monday, May 25th, 2026 at 3:56:53 AM · 2026/Mt Lassen Volcanic National Park
This long-exposure night sky photograph captures the bright streak of the International Space Station passing over a forested clearing at Mt. Lassen Volcanic National Park. The moon shines brilliantly through the silhouetted branches of conifer trees in the lower right, casting a soft ambient glow across the scene. Dozens of stars are visible across the deep blue-black sky, and the tree line frames the composition from three sides, grounding the celestial scene. A faint secondary satellite trail appears near the upper center of the frame, suggesting a multi-second exposure. The image conveys a profound sense of solitude and wonder in a remote wilderness setting.
