Supersonic shockwave image released by NASA. September 2015. This schlieren image dramatically displays the shock wave of a supersonic jet flying over the Mojave Desert. Researchers used NASA-developed image processing software to remove the desert background, then combined and averaged multiple frames to produce a clear picture of the shock waves. A high resolution and enhanced version of original NASA imagery. Credit: NASA/J Marshall - Tribaleye Images/Alamy Live News
