  • The Milky Way stretches across the sky over the Mormon Basin in Malheur County, Oregon. The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our solar system and is comprised of as many as 400 billion stars and 100 billion planets. It's name comes from the appearance of a band of stars that from Earth are so close together that they can not be distinguished as individual stars with the naked eye.

  • A bright fireball meteor from the Perseid meteor shower streaks across the sky over Mount Shuksan in the North Cascades of Washington state. The Perseids are an annual meteor shower that occurs in August when Earth passes through the debris of Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. The meteors are comet debris burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.

  • Stars fill the twilight sky over Mount Rainier in this view from near Paradise in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. The seven stars that make up the Big Dipper are visible just to the left of the volcano's summit. Mount Rainier, which has a summit of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), is the highest mountain in Washington state and largest volcano in the Cascade Range.

  • A meteor from the Perseid meteor shower streaks along the Milky Way, which appears to erupt from Mount Baker in Washington state. The Perseids are an annual meteor shower that occurs in August when Earth passes through the debris of Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. The meteors are comet debris burning up in the Earth's atmosphere. Mount Baker, which stands 10,781 feet (3,286 meters), is an active volcano with the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range.

  • Thousands of stars and the planet Venus shine over Crater Lake in Oregon just before sunrise. The planet Venus is the brightest object in the sky and is visible near the center of the image and reflected in the lake. Crater Lake, which is actually a caldera, formed when Mount Mazama erupted violently about 7,700 years ago, causing its summit to collapse. Subsequent eruptions sealed the caldera, trapping rain water and snowmelt, forming the lake, which has a maximum depth of 1,949 feet (594 meters). Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder code, is visible in the foreground.

  • Two bright Perseid meteors streak across the night sky above Table Mountain in the North Cascades of Washington state. The Perseids are an annual meteor shower that occurs in August when Earth passes through the debris of Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. The meteors are comet debris burning up in the Earth's atmosphere. Table Mountain is a 5,742-foot (1,750-meter) peak that is comprised of an ancient, thick lava flow that pre-dates flows from the neighboring active volcano, Mount Baker.
