Published at | Updated at
IDAHO FALLS — The total solar eclipse is less than two weeks away and the only safe way to look directly at the sun is through special-purpose solar filters, such as eclipse glasses or hand-held solar viewers.
Many libraries, grocery stores, gas stations and other retailers in eastern Idaho are offering eclipse glasses.
The Museum of Idaho has free glasses from NASA that have been tested by INL.
You can also purchase a pair from The Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce for $2.12.
