Composite image of WB-57F aircraft and eclipse. During the solar eclipse, members of a NASA-funded team of scientists will track the Sun's corona using telescopes mounted on two NASA WB-57F research aircraft. This vantage point provides clear advantages over ground-based observations, as demonstrated in this composite image of the aircraft against the backdrop of the 2015 heat wave in the Faroe Islands.
