Solar Eclipse Viewing Glasses
Has anyone seen Solar Eclipse Viewing Glasses for purchase in store?
If not, has any one purchased them online from a legit retailer?

Re: Solar Eclipse Viewing Glasses
To the OP, sorry I can't answer your question, but are you viewing the eclipse from NY? Or are you going elsewhere? From what I understand, we won't be able to see it here, but I could be wrong.

Re: Solar Eclipse Viewing Glasses
The news said to check the NASA website for legit online dealers as there are many fakes out there and they could be dangerous.

I am viewing it from NY. We will be able to see it as it will cover 70% of the Sun.

Re: Solar Eclipse Viewing Glasses
Fortunately, my library is handing them out so I was able to obtain mine from there. You can check yours, but I was also told that Walmart is selling them. Good luck!
And, we will see a partial eclipse, which is when the glasses are needed.

Re: Solar Eclipse Viewing Glasses
LOL- this always makes me nervous. Like I'm going to accidentally look at the sun and blind myself.
I'm going to hide inside!

That's a very real thing that could happen!

This is why I want to hide in my house with the blinds closed until this damn thing is over!

Re: Solar Eclipse Viewing Glasses
I have welding masks and goggles that I plan on using.
Harbor Freight has a two-pack of welding goggles for about $5
