  • 1. Independent Researcher, Serbia (also known as Mathallica)

Description

This preprint investigates the physical origin and optical behavior of solar eclipse shadow bands. It develops a quantitative model that explains their formation and predicts key properties such as band width and spacing. The results offer testable predictions for future eclipses and provide a foundation for improved observational analysis.
