Ben Cooper, freelance photographer, released this valuable image and movie. As I was in charge of photographers of NASA before, I specialize in aerospace, science and travel related photographs.


An image that understands how this was filmed from the airplane. Beyond the wings, the moon overlaps and the sun that shines like a ring is visible.


The zoomed-in image is here. The ring of the sun is choppy due to subtle decoction by craters and valleys on the surface of the moonBailey BeadsIs occurring on the left side.


It is here that zoomed. The left half is almost bailey beads. Note that both the total solar eclipse and the annular solar eclipse occur in this solar eclipseHybrid eclipse(Annular eclipse solar eclipse) was unusual thing.


A movie capturing the solar eclipse moment has also been released. Here is the one that shot the sun with zoom. Airplane swayed by the air current, so it is lovely that you protrude from the frame every once in a while.

The jet machine used for shooting is here. Buddha Dassault'sFalcon 900It is a business jet.


In this shooting, very accurate flight was required. The eclipse of the eclipse is reflected on the left side of the screenReal shadowIt can not observe the total solar eclipse unless it enters inside this part. The area of ​​this shadow is traveling from the top to the bottom at a super high speed of about 4000 kilometers per hour and it is necessary to jump in the jet aircraft that flew at about 800 km / h along the right dotted line There is. It seems that it was a difficult challenge to take a complete solar eclipse for only 7 seconds.


Whether you miss that moment, you had to take off one side of the aircraft and take a thorough system for shooting.


Here is the picture of the moment of entering the total solar eclipse. I can feel the excitement to be suddenly suddenly.

In the morning of May 21, 2012 (Monday), I think that many people remember being talked about in Japan that they could observe the solar eclipse for the first time in 25 years. The next solar eclipse seen in Japan is March 9, 2016 (Wednesday), a small solar eclipse occurred throughout Japan. When the solar eclipse comes, we will wait for what is seen in Hokkaido on Saturday, June 1, 2030, 18 years later.
