Remembering those times as a kid when I'd see a non 7-segment-number component on a liquid crystal display, and I'd wonder if it was even legal.

A friend of mine was lucky enough to take this remarkable photo of the recent solar eclipse, in which a plane had left a contrail below the eclipse. She was wondering though why the portion of the contrail that was in the path of the eclipse appeared curved. My initial guess was that it was some sort of refractive effect, but why would the refractive index of the air be so much different inside the shadow of the eclipse than outside of it? With only a few minutes of eclipse I doubt that there would be a significant temperature change. Anyway, any theories would be welcome!
