moon as it goes around the earth. during the eclipse, you can use that to get a better measure of that. >> aside from all that's going on in the sky, i understand there's this thing called shadow snakes or shadow bands on the ground right before totality. some describe it like thousands of snakes going in the same direction. explain this. >> yes, shadow bands, it's a really interesting phenomena that happens just before totality and just after totality. what you actually see on the ground are these rippling lines of light and dark, like shadows and light rippling along the ground. this is caused by interference of different temperature air cells in the earth's atmosphere with the light from the sun coming through, but only at the point where it's just before totality. other than that, you don't see it. these are rare and hard to capture. that's part of my particular interest, is seeing if we can see these shadow bands because they're so rare. it would be really, really cool to see them, especially because it can only happen during a

total solar eclipse. and you have to -- you can't see it anywhere else. you can't go to space and see it or anything like that. you can only see it on the ground around you when it's just about to occur, totality. >> derrick, i want to point out you personally gave owl 8,000 glasses for people to look at this today. you get big good guy points for that. clearly that was important for you to do. >> thank you, derrick. >> thank you very much. here is a look at some of this morning's other headlines from around the globe. britain's "guardian" reports a manhunt is under way across europe for the barcelona suspect. 14 people were killed in car attacks in northern spain last week, including american jared tucker celebrating his wedding anniversary. the 15th victim was found stabbed to death in a car. newly released surveillance footage shows the driver making his escape moments after ramming into dozens of people. police believe he was part of a 12-person terror cell possibly planning a larger strike. the new york time reports

matter of trying to adjust the camera to the changing light conditions. one thing i tell people who ask how to photograph the eclipse, what kind of settings they should use. is mainly to look at the eclipse. it's something you'll never ever forget. i probably spent a little bit too much time adjusting my camera. for the partial phase of the eclipse, you definitely need the protective solar glasses and you need a good approved filter for your camera lens. i think if people have a digital slr or the new camera, i would suggest one camera and one lens. you won't be able to change lenses and decide on the picture you want. and when you're shooting the eclipse, your shutter speed might go pretty slow. you need to have your camera on a tripod to have it steady. as the eclipse begins as the moon starts to take a bite out of the sun. that's when exposures through and you have to have the filter. and right ato talty -- at

at totality you have to take the filter off. it's a longer exposure during totality because you're capturing the outer atmosphere. it's different than the face of the sun. i'm sure a lot of people want to take pictures of the eclipse with their smartphones, and the sky will turn very black. it will be like night. smartphones tend to over expose the pictures. you can try to adjust the manual settings in the phone itself, it might involve a lot of time and looking at a lot of menus and the eclipse is happening as you're trying to do this. the more that you see eclipse with your eyes, you'll have the memory that you'll never forget your photographs on social media using #cbseclipse. they may end up on our broadcast or cbsthismorning.com.

circle two years ago. >> it was 8 degrees below zero when the eclipse came and blocked sun, it went to 18 degrees below zero. >> i had to water colors down. when it came time to do the painting, there was no water. >> only ice. >> that painting was indoors. >> reporter: they document their eclipse encounters with story boards and memorabilia like the carpet from mongolia. in their house, you almost can't escape the sun and moon gaze. >> when are your favorites? >> all of them. >> all of them. >> the journey, the actual experience of the eclipse. and so it's very hard to choose one. >> reporter: you sound like a mother describing her children. >> that's what i think of. >> reporter: billy, you don't have a favorite? >> i might have a favorite after monday. we didn't get to bring 60 people along with others.

>> my aunt and uncle have been chasing these around the worlds. i've never seen one. >> reporter: this year these loved ones will be joining the family. they'll be wearing matching commemorative t-shirts. >> are you sad you won't be able to travel for this one? >> no. it's all about family and the amazing thing having gone around the world and having showing our family how wonderful it is. we will get to show them and we're coming together. >> instead of you chasing the eclipse, this time it's coming to us. >> yes. it's about coming to us. >> it took awhile to get around to it, but it's happening. >> reporter: sharon and billy traveled to 14 eclipses, they've only seen 11 because weather blocked their view three times. now if the weather doesn't cooperate today, the couple told us that's okay. they're thrilled to be with friends and family. plus, they have something else to celebrate.
