The eclipse, also known as an annular solar eclipse, was visible in states like Texas, Oregon, New Mexico, Utah and Nevada, where viewers could see a ring of fire effect created by the sun shining behind the moon, which lines up directly in front of it.

Places in California, Arizona and Colorado had partial visibility of the astronomical event.

In New Mexico, some viewers were able to enjoy the eclipse during a large-scale hot air balloon festival in Albuquerque that brings thousands of visitors each year.

The eclipse is continuing on its path, which will reach parts of Mexico, Colombia and Brazil.
