After countless close calls during the past few years, I am most delighted to present you with Flying Over Tycho, my first successful attempt at capturing a passenger plane transit across the surface of the moon (or sun). The photo was taken less than an hour ago with a passenger plane caught just over the landmark crater of the southern lunar hemisphere Tycho whose rays are believed to extend well into the lunar northern hemisphere. Furthermore, the plane is just to the east of the proposed crash landing site for the SMART-1 mission in a few weeks and, more specifically, Lacus Excellante.
