Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

The phenomena of Baily's beads, the Diamond Ring, and God's Eye are distinct features observed during a solar eclipse. Baily's beads occur just before and after totality when sunlight passes through the Moon's rugged topography, appearing as a series of bright spots along the lunar limb [1]. As the beads vanish, a single brilliant point of light remains, creating the 'Diamond Ring' effect against the Sun's corona [1]. The 'God's Eye' is a popular descriptive term for the visual appearance of the total solar eclipse when the dark lunar disk is surrounded by the glowing solar corona. These events are fleeting, with Baily's beads typically lasting only a few seconds near the center of the path of totality. While Baily's beads can occur in both total and annular eclipses, the Diamond Ring is specific to total solar eclipses.
