light streaks

Glowing lines across

Light streaks are elongated traces of brightness, typically caused by movement or exposure.

In photography, they result from long exposures capturing moving light sources: The city photos showed light streaks from passing cars.

Light streaks also describe natural phenomena like meteors or the visual effect of bright objects in motion.
