An "annular eclipse" will be visible from a 240 to 300km-wide swathe of Earth stretching from Asia across the Pacific to the western US on Monday.
The eclipse is happening at a time that the Moon is at its farthest from the Earth, and therefore does not block out the Sun completely.
Viewers can see the resulting "ring of fire" in China from sunrise local time on Monday (from 22:06 GMT Sunday).
From most parts of the path, it will last about four-and-a-half minutes.
The eclipse will trace a path over Japan, almost directly over Tokyo (22:32 GMT) before crossing the Pacific, passing just below Alaska's Aleutian islands, and making landfall over the Oregon/California border (01:23 GMT Monday).
The 3.5-hour event will become less visible as it reaches Texas on Sunday evening local time.
It will be possible to see partial views of the eclipse across much of east Asia and North America.
The Slooh series of space telescopes will be covering the event on its website from about 21:30 GMT.
