Racing the moon's shadow with Concorde 001[electronic resource] /by Pierre Lena ; translation by Stephen Lyle. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2015. - xv, 103 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Astronomers' universe,1614-659X. - Astronomers' universe..

Of eclipses and mankind -- Concorde, a dream taking off -- Clear obscurity -- Towards the longest eclipse in history -- Nothing to worry, it's just an eclipse -- What a harvest of science in just 74 minutes -- The route of solar eclipses -- Epilogue -- Appendices.

This is the unique story of observing a total solar exlipse for no less than 74 consecutive minutes. On the summer morning of June 30, 1973, the Sun rises on the Canary Islands. But it is strangely indented by the Moon. The eclipse of the century has just begun. From the west, the lunar shadow rushes to the African coast at a velocity of over 2000 kilometers per hour. Astronomers on the ground will enjoy seven short minutes of total eclipse to study the solar corona - too short for Pierre Lena and seven scientists who board the Concorde 001 prototype, an extraordinary plane to become the first commercial supersonic aircraft. With Andre Turcat as chief pilot and a crew of five, at 17000 m altitude, the aircraft remains in the lunar shadow for 74 minutes, a record time of scientific observations not yet beaten and allowing for exceptional measurements. Science, technology, aviation and history combine in the story of a unique human adventure aboard a legendary aircraft, illustrated with a rich and original iconography. It reflects the wonderful domains that science and technology can open, and the passion in the professions they offer. A must read for every eclipse chaser and fan of true scientific adventures.
