   Explanation: [5]Baily's beads often appear at the boundaries of the
   total phase of an eclipse of the Sun. Pearls of sunlight still beaming
   through gaps in the [6]rugged terrain along the lunar limb silhouette,
   their appearance is recorded in this dramatic timelapse composite. The
   series of images follows the Moon's edge from beginning through the end
   of totality during April 8's solar eclipse [7]from Durango, Mexico.
   They also capture pinkish prominences of plasma arcing high above the
   edge of the active Sun. One of the first places in North America
   visited by the [8]Moon's shadow on April 8, totality in Durango lasted
   about 3 minutes and 46 seconds.
