April promises busy sky; keep those eclipse glasses

Well, we’re a week ahead of the eclipse. Now the important question, what do we do with all those eclipse glasses afterwards? Hahaha.

My advice is to put them away for the next partial solar eclipse which happens far more frequently than the total solar eclipse. If, like most folks, you have disposable paper glasses, we can all give them a second life beyond April’s eclipse.

Why not donate them to your local school, library, church, or an organization like Astronomers Without Borders (astronomerswithoutborders.org). They would love to have your gently used eclipse glasses.
