🌑 Total Solar Eclipse Macro: Corona, Baily's Beads & Diamond Ring

Drag a timeline from first to last contact of a total solar eclipse as seen from a hill: the Moon bites the Sun, the light fades, Baily's beads and the diamond ring flash, then the pearly corona opens. Pre-rendered Blender Cycles scenery with live physics: angular sizes, perigee vs apogee (total or annular), contacts, area covered, limb-darkened daylight and a to-scale lunar-limb macro view. Eye-safety first; simplified model, not an ephemeris.
