They discussed how cool\u2014and difficult\u2014getting a solar skydiving shot would be. Describing both himself and McCarthy as \u201cstubborn,\u201d Brown writes that they started organizing the ambitious endeavor.<\/p>\n<p>While the idea of photographing a skydiver as he falls across the sun, relative to a photographer\u2019s perspective, may sound fairly straightforward to some, the reality was extremely complicated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDepending on how high the sun is in the sky, the dynamics of it would completely change,\u201d McCarthy tells\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/stargazing\/astrophotography\/it-was-an-incredible-moment-skydiver-plunges-across-the-face-of-the-sun-jaw-dropping-astrophotographer-photo\">Space.com<\/a><\/em>\u2019s Josh Dinner. \u201cA plane can only transit the sun very, very briefly if it&#8217;s high in the sky, just thanks to laws of physics. And if it&#8217;s low in the sky, then the skydiver doesn&#8217;t have enough safety margin to pull the chute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, they calculated \u201ca sweet spot in the morning where the sun was low enough that we could coordinate the aircraft, but high enough that the skydiver could still pull the chute and land safely, and also, importantly, the skydiver would be within focus,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>The duo carried out their project on November 8 at a dry lakebed in Willcox, Arizona. The area\u2019s flat and open landscape allowed the pilot of the <a href=\"https:\/\/fai.org\/page\/cima-paramotors\">paramotor<\/a>\u2014a powered paragliding aircraft that took Brown up before his dive\u2014to clearly see McCarthy\u2019s position a couple of miles away, which was crucial for the shot\u2019s alignment, McCarthy explains to the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>When the pilot saw that the aircraft\u2019s shadow was going to meet McCarthy\u2019s spot, where many cameras were set up, he lowered the paramotor\u2019s power to glide across the sun\u2019s face while McCarthy gave further steering commands, the photographer tells\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iflscience.com\/the-fall-of-icarus-you-have-never-seen-an-astrophotography-picture-like-this-81570\">IFL Science<\/a><\/em>\u2019s Alfredo Carpineti<em>.<\/em> Getting the right perspective required six passes with the aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a narrow field of view, so it took several attempts to line up the shot,\u201d McCarthy tells\u00a0<em>Live Science<\/em>. \u201c[But] we only had one shot at the jump as repacking the parachute safely would take too long for another.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy simultaneously worked with two frames\u2014a wider one to guide the pilot, and a narrow one to get a closeup of the skydiver as he fell in front of an extremely active region of the sun. After capturing the photos, McCarthy turned the wide-shot image \u201cinto a 100-plus-tile mosaic,\u201d per\u00a0<em>Space.com<\/em>, which he combined with the zoomed-in shot to show the entire sun behind the skydiver.<\/p>\n<div class=\"insight\">\n<div>\n<h4>Fun fact: Light show<\/h4>\n<p>The active region of the sun captured in the solar skydiving photo was responsible for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/stargazing\/astrophotography\/it-was-an-incredible-moment-skydiver-plunges-across-the-face-of-the-sun-jaw-dropping-astrophotographer-photo\">auroras<\/a> that lit up the North American skies in early November.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The astrophotographer tells <em>Live Science<\/em> that this new composite photo is one of the top five he\u2019s ever taken.<\/p>\n<p>And Brown, the skydiver, is also in awe of the team\u2019s feat. \u201cI still can\u2019t believe we pulled this off!!\u201d he writes on Instagram.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-newsletter\">\n<div class=\"leade\">\n<h3>Get the latest stories in your inbox every weekday.<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<section class=\"tag-list\">\n<nav class=\"nav-tags\">\n<\/nav>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Months of careful planning and calculations went into the shot.
