We launched a our high altitude balloon during the Great American Solar Eclipse. We captured the eclipse on a 360 degree camera.
There was a large gust of wind and our first balloon took off with no payload.

We launched half an hour later than we wanted, which is why we are in the clouds for part of it.
You can see the moon’s shadow move across the cloud tops. The sun becomes a small bright dot in the sky.
