Concorde set the record for longest solar eclipse in history
This eclipse, none will come close to achieving what Concorde 001 did on June 30, 1973, when it raced the moon's shadow along the Tropic of Cancer during a total solar eclipse. Flying at 55,000 feet (17,000 meters), the world's fastest supersonic jet extended the duration of totality from a maximum of 7 minutes, 4 seconds on the ground to a stunning 74 minutes.

What’s behind the eclipse’s red dotsYesterday’s total eclipse stunned skywatchers. “It makes your heart want to skip a beat, and you cannot really describe it to someone who hasn’t experienced it in person,” retired educator Lynnice Carter told Nature. Some people could spot impressive solar prominences as reddish dots around the edges of the moon’s shadow. Prominences are enormous loops of plasma, many times bigger than Earth, that can last several months. They often appear red because they contain hydrogen glowing at extremely high temperatures.
