"2024 Solar Eclipse: Where to Find Glasses and How to Watch"

On April 8, a partial solar eclipse will be visible in Chicago, with around 94-95% coverage. To safely view it, approved solar eclipse glasses are essential, as regular sunglasses are not safe. The Adler Planetarium warns of the danger of counterfeit glasses and advises checking for the ISO 12312-2 standard. Approved glasses can be obtained from recommended suppliers or at select stores and events. Additionally, creating a pinhole viewer is a safe way to indirectly view the eclipse, while using phones or binoculars without proper filters is not recommended.
