Details:
"Air density is invisible to the naked eye. Unlike water, we can’t see ripples and waves of movement as an object pushes through air. But with schlieren photography, a technique that has been around for 150 years, Boom and NASA achieved something remarkable during XB-1’s thirteenth flight: capturing an image of XB-1 pushing through the air at supersonic speed."
