Don’t fuck up your eyes today!

An annular solar eclipse

So… SUN glasses right? NO!!

Sunglasses won’t cut it, not even those with extra-dark glass used by alpine skiers. They still allow too much sunlight to reach your eye. The difference?

Eclipse glasses block 99.9999 per cent of sunlight. (Try skiing while only being able to see 0.0001 per cent of your surroundings!)

You’re going to need special glasses or the cheapest version – a simple cardboard BOX

For all you white supremacy redneck assholes: 

Aside from proper eclipse glasses, there is only one other form of eye protection you can use: welder’s glasses. NASA suggests No. 14 welder’s glasses. (You already own em – looky in yer truck!)

There’s been a lot more attention to eye safety during the lead-up to the Aug. 21 eclipse
