SAFE Eclipse glasses
 

Anyone know where I can find the safe ISO glasses for the eclipse? I live in The Villages.

Here in Illinois WalMart & Lowes had them but don't know about TV.

I looked around the CR466 WalMart and could not find any and tried asking one of the employees but she did not even know that there was going to be a solar eclipse. They might have them but I could not locate them.

Thanks for checking guys.....will try online....ugh

Eclipse glasses
 

It seems that the only way to buy good, safe glasses now is in bulk. We only need two. Anyone already bought more than they wanted? PM please.

I made "eclipse" gifts for family. Used a small yellow plate for the sun and attached a moon pie. Everyone was sold out of moon pies, too. Finally found moon pie minis at dollar general.

Amazon

In watching the Channel 6 news tonight we were told they have a link for safe glasses. Ginger went to Amazon and purchased some for $9.00 and found out they're not the safe kind! So people please be safe........

went to Walmart on 441 and they were all sold out. Salesclerk said they went really fast but that they would get some more but not sure when.

I don't need no stinkin glasses:D

It will probably be raining and thundering anyway. Any weather forecasts yet for around 2 PM on the 21st? Eclipses visible in Orlando, Florida, USA - Aug 21, 2017 Solar Eclipse

Orlando, Florida, USA 14 day weather forecast

Unfortunately, there will be alot of people viewing the Eclipse with unsafe glasses and they won't know it until the damage has been done. You're right, be safe.

We ordered ours online from Lowes. Picked them up same day. They were $5.00 and included a nice informative booklet. They ARE the safe ones.

I plan on making a pinhole camera and record it on the telly.

If it is a lunar eclipse when the earth passes between the sun and the moon, and a solar eclipse when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, what do they call it when the sun passes between the earth and the moon?

The end of all life on earth.

Welding Lenses
 

Try Achor Freight or welders supply business and look for electric welding lenses

I tried to order them from Lowes and the web-site says that they are only available at the store and to call them to see if they are in at their local store.

Lowes is sold out

My local library here in Jersey is giving them away - they will also stream the eclipse in their community room!

Don't have eclipse glasses? Make a pinhole projector to view the Great American Eclipse
It will happen around my nap time, so should be nice and dark for sleeping.

I read in the paper these are not dark enough.......

paper reported glasses being order on amazon fake.

I want to see this solar event because while it is likely I will be around for another 100 years, I still do not want to leave it to chance on the next.
