FACT ABOUT AN INCREDIBLE PHOTOGRAPH!
This photo was taken nearly 15 kilometers above the Irish Sea in April 1985.
This is the supersonic commercial aircraft 'Concorde', flying at a speed of Mach 2, that is, twice the speed of sound or approximately 1,350 miles per hour.
A small fighter jet approached it in flight and accompanied it for four minutes at the same speed, and then the fighter pilot took the photograph, which is to date the only image of the 'Concorde' flying at such speed.
In the background the sun is shining, and at that height the sky already takes on a darker tone even in broad daylight, due to the decrease in air density.
The curvature of the Earth can even be seen at that height.
