Interested in seeing a total eclipse from above the clouds? An Indian airline is offering a flight that’ll offer the closest seat you could possibly get to the show.
Ironically, even in this economy, the title of world’s largest yacht lasted less than a month, as Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich finally launched his record-setting 557-ft. megayacht “Eclipse” in Hamburg, Germany.

Now this, this is cool. This is a video shot from an aeroplane of the recent total solar eclipse, showing the moon passing in front of the sun. This video shows the entirety of the eclipse — they’re quick — and you can see just how the sky is changed and darkened by the shadow of the moon. Remarkable stuff. [Canards]
The Skinny: Encased in copper, this Eclipse CD7200 mkII audio head end for your car is strictly high-end. The catch: iPod songs and playlists show up on screen, but for that you’ll be buying an optional connector.
