   Explanation: Baily's beads often appear at the boundaries of the total
   phase of an eclipse of the Sun. Pearls of sunlight still beaming
   through gaps in the rugged terrain along the lunar limb silhouette,
   their appearance is recorded in this dramatic timelapse composite. The
   series of images follows the Moon's edge from beginning through the end
   of totality during April 8's solar eclipse from Durango, Mexico. They
   also capture pinkish prominences of plasma arcing high above the edge
   of the active Sun. One of the first places in North America visited by
   the Moon's shadow on April 8, totality in Durango lasted about 3
   minutes and 46 seconds.
