"Reusing Safety Glasses: Post-Solar Eclipse Tips"

Now that the solar eclipse is over, the American Astronomical Society suggests holding onto eclipse glasses for future use, as they don't expire. Alternatively, organizations like Astronomers Without Borders and Eclipse Glasses USA are collecting used but undamaged glasses to recondition and distribute to people in need, particularly in Latin America, for viewing future eclipses. Warby Parker retail stores and Eclipse Glasses USA are accepting donations of gently-used glasses, and Eclipse Glasses USA has a Give-Back Program for mailing glasses to schools in Latin America for the October 2024 annular eclipse.
