May 20, 2012 Be prepared to view the annular solar eclipse which is the "Ring of Fire" solar eclipse. The moon is passing in front of the sun at its farthest point from the earth, appearing smaller, so when the eclipse occurs, it will still show a light ring around the shade of the moon.
Southern California eclipse times are approximately between a little after 5pm to before 8pm.
Use protective filters on telescopes and only project the image through a single binocular or telescope onto a white paper covered cardboard to see the projected image. Solar Shades are also good, do not watch by looking with your bare eyes or even with sunglasses.

More info. and a video how to make a home projection of the eclipse
