Caught a Ryanair 737 MAX crossing the Sun mid-flight. My first solar transit and it nailed it! ๐
RK8604, G-RYMA, Edinburgh โ Stansted. Contrail streak included for free.
@Ryanair feel free to pass this along. I'd love the flight crew to see it!

@Ryanair@flightradar24@Boeing This was taken on a Canon EOS 5D mark II + Skywatcher 200 P dobsonian + Baader Solar Film! Simple setup yet produced incredible results!
@JenkoKent@MickWest 10 meters? We're talking an instantaneous reduction of ~6m/s velocity and you're saying it wouldn't look different? I'd double check the math on that again mate.
Gravity is constant across the flight of a football in a stadium for all necessary means, drag is not. Magnus force is dependant on airspeed, spin, and spin axis. Your diagram shows a near perfect parabolic trajector... Where is the noticeable discontinuity? You haven't marked where this supposedly happens. Rejecting birds and aliens doesn't make it a wire, you need evidence that a collision occurs.
Then I'd say you're by no means in a position to be commenting on the physics of a football moving through the air...
Show the exact frame where the ball's velocity and trajectory changes abruptly, and then prove to me that it wasn't due to gravity, drag, spin, win, perspective... until then, a wire is merely a hypothesis.
