Details:
I was shooting a series of photos that would show the Moon occulting Venus, then re-emerging on the other side. We were approaching the time for occultation, then this plane flew through the frame. The jet’s contrail drifted across Venus, but fortunately it quickly dissipated. Two minutes later, Venus disappeared behind the Moon.
