Shot in Depoe Bay, OR, on August 21, 2017, this image was taken just as totality ended. This view is the effect seen as the Moon passes by the Sun during a total solar eclipse, and the rugged lunar limb topography allows beads of sunlight to shine through in some places, and not in others. It is known as Baily's Beads, or the Diamond Ring effect.
