2024 April 14 - How a Total Solar Eclipse Ended
8In today's image, we see a video clip showing the end of the total solar eclipse of April 8 of this year. As the video starts, we can see a couple of prominences around the edge of the Sun. As the Sun first starts to appear, we see the effect called Baily's Beads which appear then sunlight is coming show valleys on the limb of the Moon and finally the Sun starts to emerge and overwhelms the image with its brightness.
