The Baily's beads, diamond ring or more rarely double diamond ring effects, [1] are features of total and annular solar eclipses. Although caused by the same phenomenon, they are distinct events during these types of solar eclipses. As the Moon covers the Sun during a solar eclipse, the rugged topography of the lunar limb allows beads of ...

As the moon continues its trek across the sun’s face, the diamond ring and Baily’s beads and the partial solar eclipse will appear on the opposite side of the moon until the sun fully...
The second money shot is Baily’s beads — the moment when the moon is eclipsing. “You can see the actual mountains and valleys of the moon… it’s really remarkable,” he said.

To testify to the heavenly fit between our two most familiar heavenly bodies, faint diamonds known as Baily’s beads peek out from behind the moon. They actually comprise light from the sun ...
Look for the diamond ring effect and Baily's beads at the top left before totality and then near the bottom of the sun at the end of totality.
