Michael ZeilerThis video captured with an iPhone clearly shows the elusive eclipse phenomena known as shadow bands. When conditions are right, these delicate shadow bands may appear just before and just after a total solar eclipse. This rare visual phenomena is not fully understood and is a consequence of the Sun's disk shrinking to a very thin crescent in the minute before and after an eclipse.
Our the advice of our group leader, Joe Cali, we drove inland on the morning of the eclipse near Cairns, Australia. We knew we would have near-certain success if we left Trinity Beach at 2 a.m. for an inland site. After three hours of driving, we reached this location alongside the Mulligan Highway near the Palmer River Roadhouse. We watched the Sun rise over the distant coastal cloud layer and the view through filtered binoculars at first showed a boiling image of the partial eclipse through turbulent air. There were light cirrus clouds during the eclipse; I do not know whether they affected the appearance of shadow bands but there was no perceived attenuation of our view of totality.
That I recorded shadow bands on this video was an accident; I did not intend to image them in advance. Several fortuitous factors led to this lucky recording of shadow bands:
- I happened to rent a white car
- I chanced to park the car perpendicular to the total solar eclipse
- the Sun during eclipse was at low altitude, about 14 degrees high in the sky
- the air was turbulent, perhaps a factor towards the visibility of the shadow bands
- a few minutes before totality, I spontaneously asked my wife to borrow her iPhone to capture an informal family video of our experience
The result was magic. You'll hear our gasps when we saw this sight.
At each of my previous eclipses, I have looked for shadow bands but had never seen them before. This time, they were very clear and distinct, an unforgettable moment.

This dance occurred just before first contact of eclipse. Despite crushing poverty and the ravages of malaria, we were very warmly greeted by the people of Mikongo, Gabon. We had a most remarkable experience in Gabon on November 3rd, 2013, truly a day to remember all our lives!Greeting by village elder before total solar eclipse of November 3, 2013Michael Zeiler2013-11-12 | An expedition to the total solar eclipse of November 3, 2013, was organized by Professor Jay Pasachoff of Williams College, Massachusetts. In this clip, a village elder of Mikongo village in Gabon gave a greeting to us in French shortly before the onset of the eclipse.2013 solar eclipse over EthiopiaMichael Zeiler2013-10-13 | A total solar eclipse crosses Africa on November 3, 2013. This video shows the shape of the moon's shadow as it enters the country of Kenya.
The moon's shadow as shown in this video is not a smooth oval because corrections are made for the mountains and valleys of the moon's limb.

June 24 was hot and windy so the fire was particularly active on this day. You can see an interesting interplay between two active zones of this fire. At night, a fire glow in the smoke was visible from my home near Santa Fe.Annular-total solar eclipse of 2013 November 3Michael Zeiler2013-06-26 | This animated map shows the path of the annular-total solar eclipse (also called a hybrid solar eclipse). It begins as an annular eclipse, as the Sun's apparent disk is just larger than the Moon's disk and the Sun appears as a thin brilliant ring. Soon after sunrise in the western Atlantic Ocean, the eclipse transitions to a narrow total solar eclipse. During totality, the Sun's corona will be briefly visible with a duration ranging from a few seconds to about a minute and 40 seconds at the point of greatest eclipse. A thin belt of Africa from Gabon to Somalia is the only locale on land where totality can be observed. This is an eclipse-maps.com production.Jaroso Fire in Pecos Wilderness, NM June 11 2013Michael Zeiler2013-06-12 | We witnessed a jaw-dropping display of eruptive fury from the two-day old Jaroso fire. At present, this fire is largely allowed to burn because it is in an inaccessible wilderness area. We've had amazing views of the three active wildfires now ringing Santa Fe. Part tragedy but part natural process and beauty.First day of the Jaroso Fire, NM on June 10, 2013Michael Zeiler2013-06-11 | On this day, a *third* active wildfire began near Santa Fe. This fire quickly grew in the first hours and because it is burning in a remote area of the Pecos Wilderness, the fire response is coming chiefly from aerial assaults. We are suffering from high temperatures, low humidity, and an extended drought resulting in a series of fires in northern New Mexico.Thompson Ridge Fire in the Jemez Mtns, June 4 2013Michael Zeiler2013-06-05 | On this day, we had an exceptional and colorful light show in the sky from this devastating fire. The fire is nearly a week old and has moved into the Valles Caldera National Preserve.Transit of Venus from Mt Wilson ObservatoryMichael Zeiler2013-06-05 | On June 5, 2012, we had the privilege of observing the transit of Venus from atop historic Mt Wilson in southern California. This video highlights our tour of the facilities and the antique telescopes arrayed to watch this rare celestial event.Thompson Ridge fire in Jemez Mtns, NM June 3, 2013Michael Zeiler2013-06-04 | This is the fourth day of the Thompson Ridge fire and it is now climbing the flanks of the highest point in the Jemez Mountain, Redondo Peak. This area suffered a devastating fire two years ago, the Las Conchas fire, and the burn area from the previous fire will form a natural barrier for the spread of this fire. Still, there is quite a bit of territory for this fire to expand into. Conditions in the mountains are tinder dry due to our extended drought.Thompson Ridge Fire over Jemez Mountains, NM June 1 2013Michael Zeiler2013-06-02 | This time-lapse video shows the second day of the Thompson Ridge fire. The fire on this day is reminiscent of the monstrous Las Conchas fire two years ago (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mju9oYwI36c)
This was captured from the second story deck of my home near Santa Fe. I captured 1100 photos with my Nikon D300 at an interval of 10 seconds each frame.Thompson Ridge Fire, Jemez Mountains, May 31 2013Michael Zeiler2013-06-01 | As we were watching the second day of the Tres Lagunas fire from our home near Santa Fe, New Mexico, another fire popped up to the west of us! The Thompson Ridge Fire began mid-afternoon and quickly grew as well. I'll speculate that the growth of this fire is limited because so much of the territory of the Jemez Mountains was tragically burnt two years ago in the Los Conchas Fire (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mju9oYwI36c)
It's truly ominous to be sandwiched between two active wildfires.Tres Lagunas fire in the Pecos Wilderness, afternoon of May 31 2013Michael Zeiler2013-05-31 | On this second day of the Tres Lagunas fire, you can see the fire is quite active due to high winds and low humidity. Sadly, our region of New Mexico is experiencing a surplus of wildfires due to the persistent drought. This fire is the first in our fire season.
As you can see, the fire is a dynamic event with major changes. In time-lapse, it resembles a volcano. Pyrocumulus cloud tops are clearly evident during portions of this video.
This time-lapse video is taken with my Nikon D300, 135mm lens, from my home just northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico. I estimate that my location is about 20 miles nearly due west of the fire. A two hour period, from 12:25 pm to 2:25 pm, is compressed into just 40 seconds.

The fire is burning in the Pecos River Canyon which is out of view from my perspective so what you see is the upper part of the smoke billowing from the fire.
This evening (May 30), the fire is now 500 acres and burning out of control. Tomorrow is forecast to be windy and low-humidity, so there is a potential for this fire to spread through the Pecos Wilderness. Because of the extended drought, this region of the US is experiencing more frequent fires like this.Triple planet alignment of Venus, Mercury and Jupiter on May 26, 2013 from Santa FeMichael Zeiler2013-05-27 | This is a time-lapse video from the second floor deck of our home just north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. We have perfectly clear skies, but there was some dust in the sky from windy conditions. Nikon D300, 200m lens, f/5.6, 1600 ISO, 4 sec exposure, 5 sec interval for time-lapse. - Michael ZeilerGathering Of Venus, Jupiter and Mercury on May 25, 2013Michael Zeiler2013-05-26 | This is a quick time-lapse of tonights gathering of three planets in the early evening sky. The photos were taken from my 2nd floor deck (near Santa Fe, New Mexico) facing west towards Los Alamos (the lights on the bottom of the frame). Tomorrow night will have an even tighter alignment. You'll see a skinny near right-angle triangle descending. Venus is on the bottom, Mercury on the right, and Jupiter is on the left.Animated map of the annular-total solar eclipse of 3 November 2013Michael Zeiler2013-05-24 | I've been experimenting with new techniques for animating eclipse maps. This video demonstrates a moving map centered on the shadow of the moon (umbra) during the course of an eclipse. Each frame spans one second and given the 30 frames/second rate of the video, this animation is sped up 30x over the real-time passage of the eclipse.
In the coming weeks, I'll publish finished eclipse animations and eclipse maps on my website, eclipse-maps.com.
This animation was produced using Esri's ArcGIS software using computations from Solar Eclipse Maestro by Xavier Jubier and eclipse elements calculated by Fred Espenak.Annular solar eclipse of 10 May 2013Michael Zeiler2013-04-17 | This is an animated map showing the progress of the annular solar eclipse over Australia and the South Pacific. The outer curve shows where the sun is partially eclipse at the given time. The small inner curve shows where the annular eclipse is in progress. During an annular solar eclipse, the apparent disk of the moon is just smaller than the disk of the sun and this eclipse appears as a bright ring along the central path.
This is an eclipse-maps.com productionAnimated map of the annular solar eclipse of 10 May 2013 over AustraliaMichael Zeiler2013-04-08 | An annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon occults the sun, but is just smaller than the sun's apparent disk. At the peak of this eclipse, the sun appears as a brilliant ring in the sky. This animated map simulates the passage of the moon's shadow upon the earth as it begins at sunrise over Australia. A special location to view this eclipse will be from the Great Northern Highway of Western Australia, south of Newman.

I created this video for a joint project with my employer, Esri, and Astronomers Without Borders. This web app is at tov2012.esri.comTotal solar eclipse over the central line near Cairns, northern Queensland, AustraliaMichael Zeiler2012-10-21 | This animated map shows the progress of the coming solar eclipse over Cairns, north Queensland. The only landfall of this eclipse is over northern Australia. The yellow shape is the shadow of the Moon which is where you need to be to see the Sun fully eclipsed.
On most eclipse maps, the Moon's shadow appears as a smooth oval. This map applied about 20,000,000 eclipse calculations that refined the precise shape of the shadow, or, umbra. This accounted for the irregularities in the lunar limb due to the Moon's mountains and valleys.

About a half hour prior to these frames, we enjoyed a beautiful symmetric annular eclipse but the eclipse at sunset was equally memorable. These photographs were captured from the Hard Rock Pavilion just south of Albuquerque, New Mexico by Michael Zeiler. Visit eclipse-maps.com for more information on this and other eclipses.Annular solar eclipse of May 20, 2012Michael Zeiler2012-02-22 | On May 20, 2012, an annular solar eclipse will pass over the western United States. This video is an animated map showing the path of the eclipse over Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. If you are within this pass, you will see the moon slide fully in front of the sun. During an annular solar eclipse, the moon's disk is just smaller than the sun and is sometimes called a "Ring of Fire" eclipse. It will be a spectacular sight, but you must use either solar filters or a projection system to watch it safely. More maps of this eclipse are available at eclipse-maps.comAlbuquerque Balloon Fiesta Oct 1 2011 World Record Mass Ascension.m4vMichael Zeiler2011-10-02 | Time-lapse video of the mass ascension of the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta on October 1, 2011. A world record was set when 345 balloons ascended within one hour. Many other balloons ascended before and after that hour.
Photos taken by Michael Zeiler on Nikon D300 with 18mm lensNight fires over Santa Clara Pueblo north of Los Alamos, June 30 2011Michael Zeiler2011-07-01 | Time-lapse video of the fifth day of the Las Conchas fire.
The fire has largely bypassed the Los Alamos labs and townsite, but has moved north into the upper watershed of Santa Clara Pueblo. Many cultural sites have been destroyed and much of the forested land of the pueblo.
This fire is still out-of-control and is now the largest wildfire in New Mexico history.
The photographs for this time-lapse video were taken from my home just north of Santa Fe, New MexicoLas Conchas fire, evening flamesMichael Zeiler2011-06-30 | On this fourth day of the devastating Las Conchas fire which is threatening Los Alamos, New Mexico, the night sky finally cleared enough to see the flames licking all around the labs and the city.
This time-lapse video is comprised of 113 photographs taken 30 seconds apart. Each photograph is shown for one second. My vantage point is from my home on a ridge just to the north of Santa Fe.
You can see quick changes in the fires, stars in the sky, and emergency vehicles making their way on fire duties. The brightest lights are the headquarters of the Los Alamos labs and other technical areas are to the left. To the right is the Los Alamos town site. Below the headquarters is the suburb of White Rock.Detail of horizontal roll vertex, Las Conchas fire June 26 2011.m4vMichael Zeiler2011-06-29 | This is a detail view of the base of the fire column during the beginning of the Las Conchas fire. This fire is threatening Los Alamos National Laboratories and Los Alamos town site, June 26, 2011. I cropped the video to focus more closely on the base of the fire.
After I published my initial video, I learned that this video is of scientific interest as a rare documented instance of a "horizontal roll vertex" fire. This type of fire is associated with the jet stream passing overhead and results in a devastating crown fire, but this phenomenon is not well understood. This fire was explosive on its first day and rapidly burned 49,000 acres on its first day. Hopefully this time-lapse video and constituent photographs will improve the understanding of this dangerous type of fire.
When I made captured these images that comprise the time-lapse video, I closely observed this column with binoculars. I did see spectacular bursts of fire near the ground, but I have to say that patches of brightness high in the column are clear patches of sky, not huge flames. My impression was that although the column rotated as a whole, it seemed to be comprised of two main strands.
This video is offered to the public to observe the amazing spectacle of a rotating fire column and to the fire science community for better inspection and study of this most interesting fire column.Rotating fire column near Los Alamos June 26, 2011.movMichael Zeiler2011-06-28 | I previously posted a video for Los Conchas fire on June 26 2011. One section of the video is particularly interesting because the fire behaves as a rotating vortex. This video highlights the section of interest at HD resolution so that you can see the rotation more clearly. It really appears as a fire tornado.June 26 2011 Las Conchas Fire near Los AlamosMichael Zeiler2011-06-27 | Time-lapse movie of the Las Conchas Fire, Los Alamos County, June 26 2011. Time-lapse exposures are from a vantage point just north of Santa Fe, home of Polly White & Michael Zeiler. Los Alamos city and labs can be seen to the right of the fire.
I've been contacted by a fire scientist and learned that this video is a rare photographic record of a phenomena called "horizontal roll vortex" fire. This type of fire was first identified in 1956 and is not well understood.
A "horizontal roll vertex" fire as seen in this video has a clear rotation of the fire column and is associated with extreme crown fires. This fire is certainly extreme, having grown to 43,000 acres on its first day.
A better understanding of the conditions which led to this fire will hopefully enhance forecasts and warnings of severe fire danger. I'm sending the photographs which comprise this time-lapse video to fire scientists for their analysis.Pacheco Canyon Fire near Santa Fe, June 19 2011 Day twoMichael Zeiler2011-06-20 | Time-lapse movie of the Pacheco Canyon Fire, Santa Fe, New Mexico on July 18, 2011.
