Alexander's band refers to a specific optical phenomenon where a series of dark and bright bands appear around the shadow of an object, typically a planet or a moon, during a solar eclipse or when an object is illuminated in a certain way. The phenomenon is named after the ancient Greek philosopher and scientist Alexander of Aphrodesius, who is often credited with the first recorded observation of this effect.
