The phenomenon of shadow bands has been described by solar eclipse watchers for centuries.
David Turnshek, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Pittsburgh, first saw these bands as a teenager during a total eclipse in 1970.
He recalled noticing "bands of light were sweeping across the ground" just before the total eclipse.
