I’m always worried I’ll mess up my eyes if I try to see an eclipse. But I forget which type was safe to look at and which needed eye protection. You could even tell me now, and I’d still forget.

@Colonelmustardseed Just play it safe and don't look at any of them, build a shadowbox.

@Colonelmustardseed well I saw on the news they said get some special glasses.

@NativePortlander1970 that’s pretty cool

@Heavenlywarrior I do not trust any of those glasses, my oldest brother is a welder, and not even his quick shades helped during one in the late 80's.

@Heavenlywarrior We learned to make them in the fourth grade when we had one back in 1979
