Eclipse at 44,000 Feet

Flying at 44,000 feet (13,000 meters), eclipse chasers on a chartered jet managed to intercept the Moon's shadow over the Atlantic Ocean during the November 3, 2013, solar eclipse. The remarkable flight made a perpendicular crossing of the central shadow track. The photograph below was taken by Ben Cooper of Launch Photography.
