   Challenge on this answer. 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.
