Un Concorde de pruebas voló dentro de la umbra sobre el Sahara y estiro la totalidad hasta 74 minutos, el record absoluto de observacion continuada.
Top left, what happens in space: the Moon’s shadow sweeping the planet. On the right, what you would see from the chosen spot, at the very same instant. Below, the map of the track. Press ▶ and all three views move on a single clock.
The same eclipse seen from outside. The Moon’s position, the shadow cone and the umbral spot come from the official Besselian elements — not from approximate ephemerides — so the shadow lands exactly where it will land. Drag to rotate, scroll to zoom.
