Correct Answer: Total solar eclipse


Solution : The correct answer is Total solar eclipse .

The arc of bright spots known as "Baily's beads" is visible during total and annular solar eclipses. They are known as "beads" because of the irregularity of light created by mountains and valleys on the lunar surface. They are named for the English astronomer Francis Baily, who first brought them to light after witnessing an eclipse in 1836.
