STORY HIGHLIGHTS
The sun will appear as a thin ring behind the moon
The annular eclipse will be visible in parts of the western U.S. and Asia
Thousands of people plan to attend viewing parties along its path
More than 80% of the sun will be blocked during the eclipse
(CNN) -- Thousands of people are planning viewing parties in the western United States for Sunday's annular solar eclipse, a rare event in which the sun will appear as a thin ring behind the moon.
The eclipse will be visible on a path from northwestern Texas through New Mexico, northeastern Arizona, southern Utah, Nevada, northern California and southwestern Oregon late in the day on May 20.
As the sun continues its path, the eclipse will then be visible over the North Pacific, in southern Japan and southern China on the morning of May 21.
"I recommend anyone who has the chance to see this, because while they do happen occasionally, it's a fairly rare event," said Jeffrey Newmark, a solar physics specialist with NASA. "It's a neat thing to see."
The last annular eclipse appeared in the United States in 1994.
