Moon Shadow on Earth captured from satellite during Total Solar Eclipse of 16thFeb1980

  

After every solar eclipse we see reports with photos  of Moon masking the Sun disk.

Another 'must' image in every report is that of   that moment when the bright Sun just starts shining after the totality causing a diamond Ring effect also called  Baily's beads.  

This post narrates my unique experience of an unusual view during Total Solar Eclipse of   16th Feb 1980.

In this blog I intend to introduce various concepts in the scientific world in simple terms. Basically it is an attempt to demystify the technical jargon for a man in the street who is generally not scientifically trained but still has a curiosity to explore some interesting topics.

Following topics are currently covered and more are coming.
