Re: amazon eclipse viewing glasses
I got the same Amazon message, and briefly tossed my 4-pak of snazzy plastic glasses in the trash... until I discovered that the cardboard versions were bought out in my neck of the wood! So, I searched around bit, and found that the storefront owner that I purchased them from on Amazon is listed here as reputable:
https://eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters
So... given that I can BARELY see a lightbulb through them, and don't plan on counting sunspots tomorrow, I think I'll just use 'em. Me and Jerry can compare retina holes someday...

....although when I went to the seller's website, it didn't do a lot to inspire confidence...

If you have eclipse glasses that meet the approved standard for viewing, you can recycle them here:

This group is trying to help schoolchildren in South America and Asia for their 2019 eclipse by sending them our own lightly-used specs.
