On February 10, Japan’s Kaguya lunar explorer shot these photos, and high resolution video (actually a NHK HDTV camera) of the Sun hidden by the Moon - or is it Earth? This effect is called Baily's beads, in honour of Francis Baily, who first provided an exact explanation of the phenomenon in 1836.
