Talented Texas photographer Mike Mezeul II has captured an absolutely magnificent shot of lava flowing flowing from Hawaii’s Kilauea Volcano with a shooting meteor and the Milky Way hanging high in the nighttime sky.

An incredible moment, one that I will never forget. Lava from the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii crawling down towards the ocean as the Milky Way, a meteor, and moon shine above. This is one shot, shot on a Nikon D810 with a Nikon 14-24mm lens.

Mezeul has also captured several other amazing shots of the same volcano from different angles.
