Monday April 8: Total Solar Eclipse, “For Mazatlan the times are:9:51 is the beginning [you must wear solar glasses to look up], 11:07.25 totality begins and 11:11:45 totality ends and at 12:32:09 the eclipse ends. Don’t look up at 9:51 without your solar glasses”.So very exciting for Mazatlan. You will need safe solar viewing glasses, “eclipse glasses” and research emphasizes “regular sunglasses, no matter how dark, are not safe for viewing the sun.” A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon “eclipses” the sun. This means that the moon, as it orbits the earth, comes in between the sun and the earth, thereby blocking the sun and preventing any sunlight from reaching us. According to David Esquivel, president, Sociedad Astronómica Mazatleca the path will last 4 minutes and 20 seconds. “The solar glasses must be worn while looking at the sun, and as the moon goes in front of the sun, keep your glasses on until the sun is covered. You’ll see a white ring around the moon, known as ‘the diamond ring’.Then you can remove your glasses during the eclipse. I recommend after the totality [as the moon moves away from the sun] put your glasses back on to protect your eyes. The best place to see it? Really from anywhere. If you are in an open area face due south, high in the sky. However, if you live in a house, or a high-rise surrounded by buildings with terraces, your view may be blocked – but it’s almost right above you – 70-90 degrees. Go to the nearest open space and look up to the south -towards Stone Island. Be kind to the birds, this is weird for them and they will take refuge in trees, rocks and the ground. The best thing to do is not bother them and just wait.”  The next solar eclipses are 2027, Egypt; 2053, south of Sinaola and 2323 again in Mazatlan! Get your party eclipse glasses on and reserve now for the many planned events! You can buy certified glasses from the Sociedad Astronómica Mazatleca, $50, in Centro’s Biblioteca Manuel Bonilla, [Plazuela de los Leones] on Angel Flores and Campana, every Friday from 5 pm to 7 pm. They will be closed for the various holidays between now and April 8.

Monday April 8: Solar Eclipse Brunch at Gaia Bistrot – from 8 am to 1 pm, $490, $350 for children. This very special buffet includes five “cold” dishes, nine “hot” dishes AND solar eclipse ISO approved glasses, AND a carajillo coffee drink [black and white] PLUS a commemorative mug. Gaia is located in Centro’s Plazuela Machado and reservations are recommend: 669 112 2525 or 669 164 3375. For many of us it’s a once in a lifetime experience and Gaia’s team invites you to celebrate the occasion with a delicious brunch. All the information about the solar eclipse is in the article above – the eclipse starts around 11:07 am. for about four minutes – very exciting!

Monday April 8: “Brenster’s Solar Eclipse Beach Bash”, @ Diego’s Beach and Grill. This once in a life time event will make you want to live for Monday.
