Can We See The "Ring of Fire" Solar Eclipse Sunday?

A very cool event is taking place this weekend called an ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE. The difference between a regular eclipse and this one is the fact that only 94% of the sun will be covered up leaving a ring of fire to be seen by millions of people. The question is will we be able to see it?

First here is some information from NASA.GOV

On Sunday, May 20th, the moon will pass in front of the sun, transforming sunbeams across the Pacific side of Earth into fat crescents and thin rings of light.
