Magician John Nevil Maskelyne captured the moon passing in front of the sun while in the US
The first moving picture of a solar eclipse, captured by a British magician- turned-film-maker more than a century ago, has been rediscovered in the archive of the Royal Astronomical Society.
The shaky footage, recorded by John Nevil Maskelyne using a specially-adapted camera, shows the moon passing in front of the sun while he was on a British Astronomical Association expedition to North Carolina in the United States.
