This jet crossed the face of the Sun in less than a second.

What you’re seeing is a real-time solar transit — a commercial aircraft passing between my telescope and the Sun at just the right moment.

The scale difference is staggering.

The Sun is 1.39 million kilometers wide.
That aircraft is flying at roughly 35,000 feet.

For a fraction of a second, human technology intersected with a star that powers our entire planet.

Captured through a solar-filtered telescope during Solar Cycle 25 activity.

These moments require precise timing, stable tracking, and a little bit of luck.

Everything we do happens under this star.
