  • The Milky Way is visible in the midnight sky over the eastern flank of Mount Rainier in Washington state. 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.

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. This view was captured from Sunrise in Mount Rainier National Park.
