As people on the ground to admire a rare super blood moon eclipse, perhaps the best view of the astronomical marvel came from 43,000 feet in the sky -- on board a Qantas-operated "flight to nowhere."
Sydney (CNN) — The moon was illuminated a bright coppery red, big and beaming in the night sky. And as people on the ground in Australia and New Zealand and parts of the western United States peered up to admire this rare super blood moon eclipse on May 26, perhaps the best view of the astronomical marvel came from 43,000 feet in the sky -- on board a Qantas-operated "flight to nowhere." Crisscrossing the skies above Sydney harbor for three hours, 180 travelers enjoyed a front row seat for this spectacular lunar event.More Related News
