What is the name for the arc of bright spots that can be seen during total and annular solar eclipses.

Baily's beads are an arc of bright spots seen during solar eclipses, named for Francis Baily, an English astronomer who first saw them during an annular eclipse in 1836. Just before the Moon's disk completely obscures the Sun, the thin crescent of sunlight may be interrupted in many locations.
