occultation of Jupiter
Incorrect Answerpartial solar eclipse
Incorrect Answerlunar eclipse
Incorrect Answertotal solar eclipse
Correct AnswerExplanation:
- An occultation of Jupiter involves Jupiter being hidden by another celestial body, usually the Moon. It doesn't produce Baily's beads.
- A partial solar eclipse occurs when only part of the Sun is obscured by the Moon. Baily's beads aren't typically seen here in the same way as in a total eclipse.
- During a lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon. This event has nothing to do with Baily's beads.
- A total solar eclipse involves the Moon completely covering the Sun. Baily's beads are observed just before and after totality when sunlight passes through the Moon's surface irregularities.
