A rare solar eclipse is seen from Tokyo on Monday morning. People across the globe planned viewing parties to watch the event.
(CNN) -- The shadow of the moon swept across the globe from Hong Kongto the Texas Panhandle as a rare annular solar eclipse began Monday morning in Asia and traversed the Pacific.
The sun appeared as a thin ring behind the moon to people in a narrow path along thecenter of the track, which began in southern China. residents of Tokyo and other cities were able to get a spectacular view for about four minutes around 7:32 a.m. Monday (6:32 p.m. ET Sunday).
Eventswere held at schools and museums in Japan, while many more people took in the unusual astronomical event at home or on street corners.
After whizzing (zumbar) across the Pacific, the shadow emergedover northern California and southern Oregon, where thousands of people attended parties to watch the event, the first to appear in the United States since 1994.
Experts warned that hopeful viewersshould not peer up at the sky without special viewing equipment, since looking at the sun with the naked eye can cause blindness.
The sliver of sunshine then traveled southeast across central Nevada,southern Utah and northern Arizona, and then New Mexico. It passed over Albuquerque, New Mexico, about 7:34 p.m. (9:34 p.m. ET) before petering out east of Lubbock, Texas, according to NASA.
An annulareclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and sun at the farthest point of its orbit, meaning it will block less than the entire sun. That leaves a large, bright ring around it as itpasses.
The next solar eclipse will be on November 13, and is expected to be visible over northern Australia, according to NASA.
More than 80% of the sun was blocked during the eclipse.
