Beautiful Video of a Solar Eclipse Taken From an Airplane

Click to viewNow this, this is cool. This is a video shot from an airplane of the recent total solar eclipse, showing the moon passing in front of the sun. This video shows the entirety of the eclipse - they're quick - and you can see just how the sky is changed and darkened by the shadow of the moon. Remarkable stuff. [Canards]
