Time-Lapse Eclipse

Couple of cool multi-exposure pictures from the recent eclipse (See posts here and here). The first is from Earth Science Picture of the Day today(let's call that a scite- see here for explanation; I've generally been pretty impressed with their choices). Full-sized version here. The second highlights Baily's beads, which are the result of sunlight shining through low places- "valleys-" as the moon-sun alignment approaches and moves away from the total eclipse. From Astronomy Picture of the Day (a previous scite), yesterday. Full size here. And just think, only nine years and two days before I get to see this first-hand for myself.
