As an incredibly fast Air Force Test Pilot School test plane, T-38C, passed in front of the sun, a photo of the shockwaves it produced was captured.
The technique used was created in Germany about a century-and-a-half ago.
While the vision is a beautiful one, the reason behind documenting it was purely scientific.
Seeing how the waves operate can help engineers figure out how to achieve blazing air speeds without creating the ve
