| has gloss | eng: Shadow bands are thin wavy lines of alternating light and dark that can be seen moving and undulating in parallel on plain-coloured surfaces immediately before and after a total solar eclipse. Shadow bands are the result from the illumination of the atmosphere by the thin solar crescent a minute or so before and after totality. However, a new theory has been put forward by Dr. Stuart Eves, who works for Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL), that shadow bands might actually be caused by infrasound, which involves the shadow of the moon travelling at supersonic speed which in turn produces high frequency sound that humans can't hear and because of this, creates a shock wave in front of the shadow, which causes shadow bands. Dr. Eves said "If proven, it would be a something of a revelation that eclipses are a sonic as well as an optical phenomenon." In the 9th century (A.D.) shadow bands during a total eclipse are described for the first time-in the Volospa, part of the old German poetic edda. |

| has gloss | rus: Теневые волны — известны также как бегущие тени, слабоконтрастное оптическое атмосферное явление, которое иногда видно на фоне светлых плоскостей за 1-2 минуты до полной фазы и после полной фазы солнечного затмения. Оно (явление) представляется в виде светлых и темных линий (волн), чье движение видно на фоне светлых плоских поверхностей. Теневые волны — следствие освещения атмосферы тонким солнечным серпом приблизительно за 1-2 минуты до и после полной фазы солнечного затмения. Есть гипотеза, выдвинутая доктором Stuart Eves из Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL), что теневые волны возникают в результате инфразвука (англ. infrasound). |
