The ring phenomenon will last about five minutes, depending on location. People outside the narrow band for prime viewing will see a partial eclipse.

"Ring of Fire" eclipses are not as dramatic as a total eclipse, when the disk of the sun is entirely blocked by the moon.
The moon is too far from Earth and appears too small in the sky to blot out the sun completely.
Doctors and education officials have warned of eye injuries from improper viewing.

天文奇景日環食今天早上7時許（香港時間6時許）左右在日本全國多處可見，讓不少民眾興奮異常。 % W2 o: z# J6 T3 O0 D# b

「時事通信社」報道，在首先觀測到日環食的九州南部鹿兒島市內的公園裏，當太陽的金環從雲間露出的那一瞬間，現場響起「哇」、「真是奇蹟」的歡聲。

東京雖然天氣有些陰，還是可以從雲間觀測到日環食，一大早不少民眾聚集在東京都墨田區的源森橋附近，希望可以同時欣賞明天將開幕的東京晴空塔和日環食。

也有一些小學讓學生提早一個小時上學，集合在操場一起等待日環食的出現，不少上班族還隨身攜帶日食眼鏡，在通勤途中停下腳步觀賞這個難得的奇景。

全日本似乎都在瘋日環食，連動物園也不放過，《朝日新聞》報道，橫濱一家動物園特別比平常提早3小時以上、在清晨5時45分就開園，讓遊客觀察印度象、企鵝、袋鼠和猩猩、猴子等動物對日環食的反應，吸引了3000多名遊客到訪。

在黑猩猩園區前，動物園園長村田浩一帶領10幾位工作人員和大學生拿著攝影機等，記錄猩猩的行動，村田表示，「猩猩沒有出現明顯的異常行動。」 ) K( U* A) {: U% t. w4 j1 o( g

共同社報道，日本上一次觀測到「金環日食」是在1987年的沖繩，而如像這次一樣大範圍觀測到則是近932年的首次。

　　今次日環食現象由亞洲開始，連綿1萬3600公里的地區的人都有機會看到，估計到美國中部時間星期日傍晚在美國德州結束。

　　在美國加州洛杉磯，數千人齊集在一座山上的天文觀測站內，觀看這個天文現象。來自英國的遊客亨特說：「我們與孩子到這裏旅行，去迪士尼樂園玩，聽聞有日環食奇景出現，所以便來了這裏。」

　　該個天文觀測站氣氛熱鬧，十足開派對一樣。由於人太多，附近的荷里活交通嚴重擠塞，許多人索性下車，行路上山。

美国太空总署（NASA）太空专家纽马克说：“太阳看起来像个洞超大的甜甜圈。”

中国东部大部分地区浓厚的云层遮蔽了日环食；部分早起的香港人在乌云密布中仅能看到一小片日食，其他人只能败兴而归；台湾也气候欠佳，只有外岛地区视野较好。新竹以北地区，则是从清晨6点多时，可以从云缝中看到日偏食。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb3 O, t- N: f0 h% G% O* {

北美最佳的观景地点之一是犹他州的卡纳拉维尔镇，这个只有350位居民的小镇瞬间涌入上千名日环食观光客。

来自加拿大的皇家天文学会成员戴维·李告诉《盐湖论坛报》：“我沿着日环食路线评估，西岸一向雾浓，新墨西哥地平线太高，所以我决定押宝犹他州。”卡纳拉维尔镇位于盐湖城南方约230英里处。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb1 X7 Z& x* B* a' n/ l" ?
