"Stay Safe: Navigating Solar Eclipse Glasses and Viewing Locations"
Some solar eclipse glasses are being recalled due to safety concerns, with Amazon notifying customers that certain glasses labeled as "AAS Approved" are not safe for viewing the eclipse. Local retailers in the Midwest have also issued recalls for eclipse glasses. It's crucial to ensure that solar eclipse glasses are not counterfeit, as viewing the eclipse without proper eyewear can cause irreversible eye damage within seconds. Experts recommend purchasing glasses from approved manufacturers listed on the American Astronomical Society's website and advise against using online marketplaces for the lowest-priced options. Additionally, if you still have glasses from the 2017 eclipse, you may be able to reuse them if they are undamaged.
