Last call for eclipse glasses!
If you’re planning on viewing the Aug. 12 total solar eclipse then you’ll need to get hold of a pair of quality eclipse glasses. Be sure to get a pair from a reputable dealer that conforms to the all important ISO 123-12 – 2 certification and never use an old pair if they appear scratched or damaged in any way!
