It took some hunting around but I bought approved glasses to view the eclipse the last time one was passing over this area. The glasses are so dark that you can't see your hand if you hold it up in fronat of your face. Make sure you buy approved glasses from a reputable source.

& when you are done with those glasses, you can use them to drive at night to protect your eyes from the projector lens LED headlamps.

📎 Not for me @Tempest332 , I have to use my REAL LIFE glasses or I will be driving off the road. On the "serious" side - since retiring and NO longer have a NEED to drive at nights - I don't. 👵
