Where to Get Eclipse Glasses at the Last Minute
It’s not too late to get eclipse glasses, but don’t expect to find them in stores. However, we’ve seen listings on local selling sites like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, so you can still buy a pair if you’re quick.
Make sure you get the real deal – there are fake eclipse glasses out there, but you can spot fake ones by following these guidelines . Don’t be afraid to ask sellers about the brand of glasses and the small print, these are your eyes. (We’ve also seen some smart people sell glasses made from packs of Eclipse gum . Don’t use those either.)
If you can’t get your glasses, this is another reason to see an eclipse in the crowd – just borrow from someone. Or take the old school with these homemade hole viewers that don’t require any special equipment at all.
