Because we are close to the path and will see 90% coverage.

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.

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.

Warby Parker stores are handing them out for free.

you don't need the glasses. The sun is FAKE. Proof ? Go outside when the sun is shining. All it does is make you sneeze.

But use the paper method if you're buying into the fear. Look it up.

Order today and they'll be here in time.

Since the smallest order from the reputable companies is usually a 10-pack, maybe you could ask around or post on FB asking if anyone has extras?

Knock-offs an issue on Amazon and dangerous in this application. I'd buy direct from a reputable manufacturer, you can find lists from scientific bodies on google. Got mine from American Paper Optics.

Why would you need them around here? we aren't on the path.

Some libraries & state parks have them.

Micro center on rockville pike

I got mine. You can buy them from me. 10 for $120.
