Here, in this short video clip, is an amazing array of shadows and sunlight casted and displayed, during the recent solar eclipse, as sunlight pierced through the tiny openings between the leaves of my pecan tree, producing thousands of copies of the moon passing in front of the Sun in the same way one views a solar eclipse using a pinhole projector.
Below I’ll post a few photos I took of this neat optical display of crescent lights and shadows, caused by sunlight piercing through the small spaces between the leaves of my pecan tree during the eclipse on August 21, 2017. I was really amazed by it!
