Meteor Streaks Across Star-Filled Night Sky
Monday, May 25th, 2026 at 3:59:23 AM · 2026/Mt Lassen Volcanic National Park
This long-exposure night photograph captures a meteor or satellite streak slashing diagonally across a deep blue-black sky filled with scattered stars above Mt. Lassen Volcanic National Park. The silhouettes of pine and deciduous trees frame the edges of the composition, with a subtle moonlit glow visible on the lower right horizon illuminating the treetops with a warm amber hue. The scene evokes the profound solitude and wonder of a clear mountain night at high elevation, far from light pollution. Shot with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II and the RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM lens, the wide-angle perspective captures an expansive swath of the night sky while maintaining sharpness across the frame.
