[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you need them around here? we aren't on the path.[/quote]

Deep sigh.

Yes we are not in the path of TOTALITY.  All the more reason for the glasses!! We will have about an 80% partial eclipse where the sun is mostly hidden, but not entirely.  It will be awesome still.[/quote]

You could've done that without the sigh and given us space nerds and eclipse enthusiasts a little more goodwill.

But the statement is true. You didn't need the glasses during the minute plus of totality. Since DC won't be in the path of totality, if you want to look at the sun and see where the moon is passing by, you definitely need glasses. Also do not try to photograph it without special filters.

If you don't have glasses, you can make a projector with a cereal box and some foil or use a colander over some white paper to see the shadow effect. It'll be pretty cool, just very different than totality.[/quote]

Ok yes sorry about the sigh.

But yes everyone get glasses. It will be cool and you want to protect your eyes![/quote]
