No, it's not a live performance of "Dark Side of the Moon", but it's really cool, and your Ricart Mazda Family didn't want you to miss out the chance to enjoy something you just can't see every day... a partial solar eclipse. If you want to see the total eclipse, grab the family or some friends, fill up your Mazda, and Zoom west a few states.
To see the partial eclipse, find a good place to look westward with as few ground objects between you and the western horizon as possible. Plan on arriving at your spot by 8 p.m. or so on the evening of the 20th, weather permitting. The event should begin a bit after 8:00, and you should begin to see the Moon's shadow blocking a bit of the Sun's disc. The Moon should cover as much of the Sun it's going to by about 8:40, or about the time the Sun will set completely.
Remember to never look directly into the sun! That would not be good because it can damage your eyes. So if you are gonna view the eclipse, check out how NASA suggests you do it. Make sure any children with you follow the viewing guidelines, or stay at home and watch it from Mt. Fujiyama in Japan at go-green.ae.
If you want to find out even more, you can check out Annular Solar Eclipse May 20. 2012 on Facebook. While you are on Facebook, just go ahead and like Ricart Automotive too. You know you want to!
So pack some snacks, and maybe a blanket for the ground... put together a good tunes list on your player or phone, hop in your Mazda, and head to that spot you have picked out. It'll be a great way to end the weekend, so have fun! If we don't see you out there, we'll see you the next time you visit the Ricart Megamall.
