A Schlieren image depicting NASA’s X-15 hypersonic experimental aircraft undergoing testing in a supersonic wind tunnel. Density gradients in the flow allow clear depictions of the shock waves that form off of protrusions, corners and disturbances. Shock waves are the ripples that form when we break one of nature’s limits - the speed of sound. Schlieren photography provides a beautiful, simple and elegant solution to visualizing these mesmerizing ripples in time and space.
