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.

Default 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.

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........

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?
