"Where to Buy Solar Eclipse Glasses and Tips for Safe Viewing"

The Great North American Eclipse on April 8 will be visible in Ohio, including Cincinnati, where a partial totality will occur at 3:09 p.m. To safely view the eclipse, Ohioans are advised to obtain approved eclipse glasses meeting the ISO 12312-2 standard. Local vendors such as Kroger, Meijer, Walmart, and the Cincinnati Astronomical Society are selling these glasses, with the Cincinnati Observatory and Great Parks of Hamilton County also offering them. NASA warns against using counterfeit glasses, emphasizing the risk of severe eye injury from looking directly at the sun during the eclipse.
