  • 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. Its name comes from the appearance of a band of stars that from Earth are so close together that they cannot be distinguished as individual stars with the naked eye. 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.

  • A cross-section of petrified wood displays a wide spectrum of colors in the Rainbow Forest of Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. The petrified wood in the park is made up of almost solid quartz and the colors are the result of impurities in the quartz, such as iron, carbon and manganese. It formed more than 200 million years ago when logs washed into an ancient river system. The logs were quickly buried by sediment, which slowed decay. Over time, minerals, including silica, were absorbed into the porous wood, replacing the original organic material over hundreds of thousands of years.

  • A hint of golden sunrise color shines through the dark storm clouds hovering over Wizard Island and Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Crater Lake, the deepest fresh water lake in North America, is located in a caldera at the top of what was once Mount Mazama. A massive eruption around 5,700 B.C. caused the mountain to collapse. While the Wizard Island cone is long dormant, there is some hydrothermal activity at the bottom of Crater Lake, suggesting the mountain is still active.

Three turkey vultures are visible soaring in the sky above the saddle between two of the peaks.
