During a total solar eclipse, as the Moon nearly completely covers the Sun, the last few drops of sunlight streaming through the valleys on the Moon’s limb create points of light known as Baily’s Beads. Just before totality, when only one bright spot remains, it creates a dazzling effect resembling a diamond ring on the Sun’s corona. ‘God’s Eye’ is sometimes used informally to describe the overall appearance of the corona during a total solar eclipse.
