Bailey's Beads

Poul Anderson's "Escape from Orbit," see here.

The stranded astronauts attach their orbiting ditching capsule to the nearby Galileo satellite above the Moon.

"The sun fell behind the Moon's ragged shoulder. Bailey's Beads flashed momentarily, then only a wing of soft coronal light was to be seen. It set also." (p. 97)

I had never heard of Bailey's Beads before.

They fix their radio transceiver and air tank and finally themselves to the Galileo, letting their capsule drift free. Remotely controlled from Earth, the Galileo descends to the Moon where the men can be rescued from Apollo Base.
