Description: I create a vacuum in the jar with a candle and then light a .7 mm mechanical pencil lead filament by attaching the system to a remote control car battery. Just like Edison!

I was in the path of totality for the August 21, 2017 Great American Eclipse. This footage was taken in Tallulah Falls, Georgia. Though faint, the phenomenon called "shadow bands" or "shadow snakes" becomes visible just as the scene darkens.
