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