Picture of the month June 2010 

 

 

Picture taken at Kampenhout on May 22, 2010.

 

Overhead Belgium there are quite some busy air corridors and once in a while the Moon is in the right position to capture a cruising aircraft in front of it. This Boeing 737-800 of Austrian departed in the evening of May 22 2010  from Heathrow and was around 2125 local time almost overhead at 37000 ft, a bit south of my position, on its daily leg to Vienna when passing the waxing gibbous Moon which was for about 70% visible.
