I see eclipse stories splashed all over with dire warnings, even more dire than the ones telling me to carry an umbrella when rain is forecast. But where are people getting these magical glasses? I heard somewhere that they cost around $200, and I don't want to spend that for an hour of curiosity.

It seems like the kind of thing where versions would be sold cheaply on the sidewalk on Fifth Avenue.

Go out and experience it then watch it on TV. I've experienced probably 1/2 dozen eclipse already and the best view was on TV.

Even with special glasses you're not gonna see that much detail without a telescope and filters.
