I think NASA will have several planes following in the shadow ** -- TechMomof2 08/19/2017 06:40AM
At what speed would an aircraft need to travel to keep up with eclipse? ** -- grill to chill 08/18/2017 3:19PM
Ludicrous speed. ** -- Nortazhokie 08/18/2017 6:49PM
Didn't realize the eclipse was plaid ** -- Vienna_Hokie 08/18/2017 9:09PM
If it's attainable, this puppy could do it. -- thankbud 08/18/2017 4:27PM
Of course, it also needs a sunroof if you want to actually see the eclipse. ** -- Hokie360 08/18/2017 4:10PM
1,040.4 mph is the equatorial velocity but since a plane's higher it would -- Hoakie82 08/18/2017 4:04PM
As an engineer I appreciate that insight. +1** -- MikeVT85 08/18/2017 5:16PM
In 1973 scientists used a concorde to keep pace for over an hour -- vtbones 08/18/2017 3:44PM
This suggests the eclipse was moving at 1200 mph... -- `lag 08/19/2017 08:42AM
Thanks for sharing :) Check this out. Very cool. ** -- grill to chill 08/18/2017 4:43PM

Around 1500mph. ** -- BobG 08/18/2017 3:23PM
Bob is closest as the shadow will move at 1600 mph ** -- grill to chill 08/18/2017 4:38PM
Correction.. the speed of the shadow is 1447 MPH per NASA ** -- grill to chill 08/19/2017 12:22PM
