Shadow Bands


Sunset with shadow bands. No location or date given. Shadow bands are slow-moving waves of light and dark observed to move across light-colored surfaces on the earth just before and after totality in a solar eclipse. They are thought to originate from the effects of irregular atmospheric refraction.
