You can enjoy the total solar eclipse and the movement of the moon's shadow over the Southern Ocean from 12.5 km above the ground from two opposite windows of the CC-BBD B787-Dreamliner in the composite time-lapse video below.

During the event, a clear zone was visible even by eyes, which belonged to the more active areas of AR 2898 and AR 2900. In these places, in the period of several hours around the time of the eclipse, several minor eruptive events occurred radially moving in the direction of observation (ie they went "to the side"). And that is the reason why the solar corona, formed by charged free electrons in the Sun's magnetic field above this region, appeared so complicated. Below is a gallery showing the active area in a photograph by Petr Horálek and further from the NASA / Solar Dynamic Observatory and SOHO (NASA / ESA) satellites in a composition with captured images from the aircraft.
