Total Totality

Baily’s beads continuously seem on the boundaries of the total segment of an eclipse of the Sun. Pearls of sunlight soundless beaming through gaps in the rugged terrain alongside the lunar limb silhouette, their appearance is recorded in this dramatic timelapse composite. The series of pictures follows the Moon’s edge from starting throughout the live of totality for the duration of April 8’s solar eclipse from Durango, Mexico. They also use pinkish prominences of plasma arcing high above the brink of the stuffed with life Sun. One of the first locations in North The United States visited by the Moon’s shadow on April 8, totality in Durango lasted about 3 minutes and 46 seconds.
