Video: flying through an eclipse

Wow! Watch this video (2 minutes in length) of a plane flying through the shadow of a solar eclipse last Friday, over the Canadian Arctic. The video came from this website, which offers this description: "Raw video:August 01/08:The total eclipse of the Sun, seen over the Canadian Arctic, August 1, 2008. Photographed from altitude of 27,000 feet from a location 140 km east of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut."

Thanks to Nicole for the link!

Moon over the National Cathedral

Here's a shot from last week of the almost-full moon hanging over DC's National Cathedral. The view is to the west, which I guess means that I must have taken this picture in the morning, since the moon's face is being illuminated by the Sun. The Sun, of course, rises in the east. And if I can't specifically remember, that probably means I hadn't had my coffee yet, so that definitely makes it a morning shot.
