A composite of the August 21, 2017 total eclipse of the Sun, showing the second and third contact diamond rings and Baily's Beads at the start (left) and end (right) of totality, flanking a composite image of totality itself. Regulus is the star at lower left. Placement of the images only roughly matches the actual position and path of the Sun across the sky. However, the time sequence runs from left to right. Shot from a site in the Teton Valley, Idaho, USA, north of Driggs.
