I watched a newscast that was speaking to consumers taking care about the safety of the eclipse glasses they selected and was shocked to learn that all so-called 'eclipse safety glasses' might not be all that safe!!!
Here near Dallas don't know how much effect we will get anyway so I'll likely not get to look directly at it w/out any eclipse glasses but just watch the image on TV.
Did you see on the news that one guy purposely built his house so it would be right in the pathway of the total 2 minute eclipse effect? Seem to remember he has a rooftop observatory type deck or something like that to enhance his view as the moon moves overhead? Wish we could get the total dark effect here. Bet his Eclipse Viewing Party will be one for the ages! Am sure the networks will cover his story more as the day draws closer and maybe even during the event itself.
