Amazing Video From Plane Of Eclipse

Video of yesterday's total solar eclipse proves that a plane provides the best possible vantage point to view the natural phenomenon.

The special Alaska Airlines flight gave a group of US skygazers the chance to view the eclipse, that unfolded over parts of Indonesia and the Indian and Pacific oceans, from a prime location above the clouds.

Video of the incredible event showed the passengers getting increasingly excited as the shadow of the moon appeared and made its way across the sun.
