Below are numerous links to sites with information for safely viewing the solar eclipse in August. I'll try to divide this into two groups. The first is glasses, filters, and other viewing devices. The second is general information (maps, posters, etc.). These lists are great sources of information to help publicize the eclipse and spread the word about safely viewing it.
Please read the general safety material closely and carefully! Welding glasses and goggles are NOT recommended! Recommended glasses are available for a few dollars. Screw-on or slip-on filters for cameras, telescopes, binoculars etc. start around $20.00. You can also make viewing devices where kids will enjoy the hands on work and at minimal cost (great family, scout, or class project).
Please do not put your equipment or non-replaceable eyes at risk!
