                       How a Total Solar Eclipse Ended
                  Video Credit & Copyright: [3]David Duarte

   Explanation: How does a total solar eclipse end? Yes, the Moon moves
   out from fully [4]blocking the Sun, but in the first few seconds of
   transition, [5]interesting things appear. The first is called a
   [6]diamond ring. Light might stream between mountains or through
   relative lowlands around the [7]Moon's edge, as seen from your
   location, making this sudden first light, when combined with the
   [8]corona that surrounds the [9]Moon, look like a [10]diamond ring.
   Within seconds other light streams appear that are called,
   collectively, [11]Bailey's beads. In the [12]featured video, it may
   seem that the [13]pink triangular prominence on the [14]Sun is somehow
   related to where the Sun begins to reappear, but it is not. Observers
   from other locations saw [15]Bailey's beads emerge from different
   places around the Moon, away from the iconic triangular [16]solar
   prominence visible to all. The video was captured with specialized
   equipment from [17]New Boston, [18]Texas, [19]USA on April 8, 2024.
