Monday, May 25th, 2026 at 8:26:32 AM · 2026/Mt Lassen Volcanic National Park
This stunning astrophotography image captures the Milky Way galaxy stretching across a deep blue-black sky above Mount Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California. The snow-capped summit of Lassen Peak is faintly visible on the right side of the frame, silhouetted against a subtle green airglow near the horizon. Dense conifer forests frame the left side of the composition, while warm artificial light illuminates patches of low-lying vegetation near what appears to be a small lake or stream in the foreground. The scene balances the vast cosmic scale of the galaxy with an intimate, peaceful wilderness setting, creating a profound sense of solitude and wonder.
