The earth can be pretty beautiful from 37,000 feet. My last week from Munich to Charlotte had amazing views of the Swiss Alps, Cape Cod, and every major city on the eastern seaboard of the United States. But this is way, way cooler: Video of a solar eclipse, from a plane flying over the Canadian Arctic, August 1, 2008.

Very cool – but WHO is that pillock giving the ‘commentary for the hard-of-thinking’?

Thank you for “pillock,” B Bird.
No idea who the person in the video is. I wasn’t the lucky traveler (sorry to disappoint, Chelsea.)
