Summary
| Description |
English: Baily's beads seen 2 July 2019 from CTIO. The effect is also called the diamond ring and is a feature of total and annular solar eclipses. As the Moon covers the Sun during a solar eclipse, the rugged topography of the lunar limb allows beads of sunlight to shine through in some places while not in others. For an explanation on the effect, see https://photoephemeris.com/articles/searching-for-the-double-diamond-ring. |
