Explanation:
Sometimes, good planes come to those who wait.
Experienced solar photographer
Thierry Lagault had noticed planes crossing
in front of the
Sun from his home in suburban
Paris.
He then got the idea for the above photograph,
but had to wait through many near misses.
About two weeks ago, he got his wish: a jet
crossed directly in front of the Sun when his
solar imaging equipment was set up.
The
resulting image, shown above, was taken in a
specific color of red light called
Hydrogen-Alpha, and the
picture's contrast has been digitally enhanced.
Dark
prominences can be
seen lacing the
Sun's busy surface.
The airplane is an
MD-11.
