During the New Moon&#8217;s shadow play diamonds glistened twice in the eclipse-darkened skies. The transient celestial jewels appeared immediately before and after the total eclipse phase. That&#8217;s when the rays of a vanishing and then emerging sliver of solar disk are just visible behind the silhouetted Moon&#8217;s edge, creating the appearance of a shiny diamond set in a dark ring. This dramatic timelapse composite from north-central Arkansas captures both diamond ring moments of this total solar eclipse. The diamond rings are separated by the ethereal beauty of the solar corona visible during totality. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap240420.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the dark shadow of the Moon raced across North America on April 8, sky watchers along the shadow&#8217;s narrow central path were treated to a total solar eclipse.
