By a lucky coincidence, last week, just after I bought a solar filter for my
little Meade scope, I saw the same thing. No more than a couple of seconds
after I found the sun, a 737 flew in front of it. One of thowe WOW
experiences. My question for the group, however, is why the exhaust trails
are so opaque. They were in what I saw, just as in this photo. I looked at
the plane a few seconds later, and the it was not leaving visible contrails.
Refraction phenomenon, maybe?
