seeing the mountains of the moon (illus.)

 I'm watching a total solar eclipse. But somehow I zoom WAY in on a small edge of the moon, so close that I can see individual mountains on its horizon. Just then the sun peeks out from behind them as the eclipse continues, but instead of the overwhelmingly brilliant "Bailey's Beads" phenomena occurring, the sun is somehow dimmed so that I can even more clearly see the mountains in front of it.

For some reason I excitedly tell the person next to me that the ability to see the moon mountains during an eclipse is called a "Moon Meel."
