Image Details:

This photo is of the rising Sun with several Sunspot regions including 2926 top, starting at lower left center 2927, 2925, & 2924 with a Boeing 767-223 "photo bombing" the shot. The 767 was in route to Mexico City and approximately 32 miles away from the camera at 34,000 ft. The Sun was at only 8 degrees above the horizon which accounts for the slight distortion.
