\n\tAfter watching a segment on KOMU channel 8 weather about the upcoming eclipse I learned that not all glasses made for watching the eclipse are adequate or are recommended by NASA. Even though the glasses I brought online for viewing the eclipse and giving out at the MULSA picnic said they were 100% safe for the eclipse they are not.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe only glasses with safety guide lines must have “ISO 12312-2” printed on them only 4 companies have been approved as manufacturing safe solar eclipse glasses: American paper optics, Rainbow symphony, thousand oaks optical, and TSE17. Our glasses did not have this. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tFree KOMU 8 eclipse glasses can be pick up at local Dollar General Stores or the Mizzou stores is also selling eclipse glasses for $1 with proceeds going to the astronomy dept.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThis and more information about the eclipse can be found on the KOMUTV weather web site.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tSorry about the phony eclipse glasses\n<\/p>\n
