Can’t find eclipse viewing glasses? Here are alternative ways to view the eclipse safely

Before you get started, remember: You should never look at the sun directly without equipment that's specifically designed for looking at the sun. Even using binoculars or a telescope, you could severely damage your eyes or even go blind! Solar eclipses themselves are safe. But looking at anything as bright as the sun is NOT safe without proper protection. And no, sunglasses do NOT count.

Here are some great sources of information all in one location for your convenience! Happy Viewing.
