Baily
Just before the moon covers the Sun in an eclipse, the narrow crescent of sunlight is broken in places by the outlines of the moon’s mountains and valleys. These irregularities at the edge of the lunar disc create what looks like a string of beads. This phenomenon is called “Baily’s Beads” and is named for English astronomer, Francis Baily.
Baily and his suit are handstitched from recycled wool. He stands approximately 13 inches tall.
