Recently, well-known astronomy photographer McCarthy teamed up with skydiving celebrity Brown to take a shocking photo titled "The Fall of Icarus."The screen showed that Brown, a skydiving celebrity, was in a state of free fall, with his small black silhouette perfectly framed on the surface of the huge, burning sun behind him. This scene was also called "man falling into the sun" by netizens from all over the world.
The two prepared for this moment for several months, using complex mathematical calculations and top-of-the-line equipment to complete this seemingly impossible shooting.
It is reported that the photographer needs to accurately connect the skydiver, the sun and the ground camera, which is extremely difficult.
After circling and adjusting six times, Brown jumped from an altitude of about 1,070 meters. Ground photographer McCarthy successfully captured the picture from 2.4 kilometers away using a professional telescope and special filters.
In response to doubts about AI mapping, the team also released a behind-the-scenes video to support it.
