Not seeing this in the news, I assume for liability reasons. For those same reasons, I'm NOT making a recommendation to you here in this post. However, I will tell you what I'm doing during the eclipse (backed-up by Nasa).
Because I AM in the path of totality (not 99%, not 98%, but 100%), I know that once totality has truly started, I can look DIRECTLY at the eclipse, no glasses, and can continue to do so until the moment that totality ends. I WILL NOT MISS THIS CHANCE.
@codeWhisperer I did that when I was 12 and had an annoying blue dot in my vision for a month.
@tippitiwichet Yes, which is why I personally am not going to look directly at ANY TIME other than 100% totality, anything less than 100% is unsafe and will likely lead to permanent damage.
@codeWhisperer Yeah, dude. I saw a total one when I was 12. The dot went away, it wasn't permanent.
