Despite what you may have heard on the news, the Fairfax Community Library does not have solar eclipse viewing glasses to give away. We will have an Eclipse Viewing Party here at the Library on Monday 8/21 from 1-3 p.m., and we have some eclipse viewing glasses for participants to use then. Please join us!
NASA has an entire website devoted to this event! Look in the Safety section under Eclipse 101 for a list of reputable vendors.
Given the late date, we suggest people make solar viewing projectors, pinhole projections, or sun funnels to view the eclipse. To see NASA's great website about eclipses and safe viewing, go to
eclipse2017.nasa.gov.Also, the NASA site will be streaming the eclipse so you can view it safely on your computer. We will have thestream up on our large screen here!
