Eclipser 1

In November 2012 some scientists had the idea to send a camera on a balloon at an altitude of 25 kilometers to the stratosphere during a total solar eclipse. They weren't interested at the moon or the sun but at the shadow the moon drew on the earth. The eclipse could be seen on the south pacific, from Australia to South-America.

They caught beautiful images of the shadow disc.

Why am I posting this? Except that I'm fascinated by science, just listen to the music.
