SPACE — In about a day, a rare total solar eclipse will cross North America. To be precise, on April 8 2024, the sky will darken for a moment when the moon completely covers the sun.
A total solar eclipse is a unique astronomical phenomenon that is followed by other phenomena. One of the phenomena is Bailey beads.
As the moon approaches the sun in the sky, light will begin to shine through the valleys, mountains, craters, and rough terrain at the edge of the lunar disk. This phenomenon creates droplets of light on the edge of the lunar disk known as “Bailey Beads.”
The appearance of Bailey Beads on the edge of the moon may be accompanied by other striking phenomena. Another possible phenomenon is the diamond ring effect.
A “diamond ring” occurs during a total solar eclipse just moments before the point where the moon completely covers the sun, known as totality. This phenomenon is caused by the last rays of sunlight streaming through the hilly terrain at the edge of the lunar disk.
During the 2024 total solar eclipse, skywatchers can try to observe the rare “double diamond ring” when two prominent points of light appear on the edge of the moon.
April 8, 2024 will be the longest solar eclipse in the United States since 1806. In Mexico, observers have the potential to witness totality for 4 minutes and 28 seconds.
However, this duration will decrease slightly as the movement of the dark central shadow accelerates. However, on the border between the United States and Mexico, there is still a chance to witness the eclipse for 4 minutes and 26 seconds.
