While Baily's beads do appear during total       eclipses, they also appear during annular eclipses. In fact, one page       (link below) says that Baily described them after seeing an annular       eclipse. The Wikipage on Baily's Beads says that the Diamond Ring Effect       shows up on both kinds of eclipses. The Diamond Ring Effect is viewing       the last Baily's bead with some light showing all the way around the       moon. So annular eclipse should also be a valid answer.              https://eclipsesoundscapes.org/annular-eclipse-features/              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baily%27s_beads              --       Dan Tilque              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
