Lunar Eclipse Interrupted by an Unexpected Guest!

Greetings, space enthusiasts!

Today, we're sharing a rather serendipitous capture from a recent lunar eclipse. While the focus was, of course, on the magnificent Earth's shadow slowly creeping across the Moon, the universe decided to throw in a little surprise.

A Surprise Visitor

As I was setting up my gear to capture the unfolding celestial drama, a silhouette darted across my frame. It was an aircraft, gracefully cruising through the night sky, and right at that moment, it perfectly photobombed the lunar eclipse!
