There may be fewer planes in the air right now, but they’re rarely as eye-catching as this.<\/p>\n

One of the remaining aircraft was snapped photobombing the sun in what the photographer has called a \u201cuniquely beautiful\u201d shot.<\/p>\n

California-based photographer Andrew McCarthy, known as @cosmic_background on Instagram, is known for his hyper-real photos of the universe.<\/p>\n

But while training his camera on the sun one afternoon, he also captured what is believed to be a United Airlines plane travelling directly in front of it. <\/p>\n

It’s understood the plane was flight UA425 travelling from San Francisco, California, to Newark, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

The accompanying video, shared on his feed, shows the silhouette of the plane coasting in front of the sun.<\/p>\n

Mr McCarthy captioned the shot: \u201cWhen you take pictures as often as I do, the likelihood of happy accidents increases. Like this plane interrupting my shot of our sun yesterday afternoon. Completely unplanned, yet it added something to the image that made it uniquely beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The jet is only visible when covering the sun, but the aircraft\u2019s contrails \u2013 the vapour trails created by the plane’s engines \u2013 can be seen on either side.<\/p>\n

According to Mr McCarthy, this is \u201cdue to the contrails scattering the sun\u2019s hydrogen alpha light, which my scope is sensitive to\u201d, which \u201ccreates the illusion of a vanishing plane\u201d.<\/p>\n
