A total solar eclipse is set to occur on Monday, April 8, and while some enthusiasts are willing to pay top dollar to witness it, there are options available for those who want to experience the rare event for free. Experts caution against looking at the obscured sun without proper eye protection, as the solar radiation can cause irreversible damage. Normal sunglasses are not strong enough to shield your eyes during an eclipse, so it is important to use special eyewear designed specifically for this purpose.
To obtain free eclipse glasses, there are various sources where you can get them. Many libraries across the country are distributing glasses for free, and an interactive map from Star Net can help you locate libraries near you that are offering them. Warby Parker, an eyewear brand, is also providing glasses at its retail locations at no cost. In New York State, free glasses are being distributed at locations such as New York State Welcome Centers and Thruway Rest Stops. Additionally, chain restaurants Sonic and Smoothie King are offering free eclipse glasses with a purchase. If you are unable to find free glasses near you, you can follow instructions from NASA to create your own viewing tool using materials that are easily accessible at home.
