Interesting Photo of the Day: Jet Crossing a Solar Eclipse

August 21, 2017’s much anticipated solar eclipse was visible from coast to coast in the United States. The luckiest of viewers were treated to a total eclipse, but it was a sight to behold even where only a partial eclipse could be seen. Of course, during and after the event, social media blew up with thousands upon thousands of photos—some more amazing than others.

Kirsten Jorgensen captured this once in a lifetime shot of a jet passing over the crescent sun in Lewiston, ID, with a Nikon D5200 and a 55–300mm lens. She stacked four different filters: two UV filters and two pink tinted filters.

What an incredible shot!
