Welcome to the 2025 Edition of Baily’s Beads, the publication of the University of Pittsburgh – Bradford. Baily’s Beads are the highest points of light that appear around the edge of the moon at the solar eclipse.

The beads are created by sunlight passing through the moon’s valleys. The last bead is the brightest, resembling a diamond on a brilliant ring. This phenomenon lasts but a few spectacular moments.

Dip into the 2025 edition of Baily’s Beads!
