What can people do with their solar glasses once the solar eclipse is over? Here are a few options.
Many Americans picked up special "eclipse glasses" to see the solar eclipse on Monday. But what should people do with their glasses once the rare and striking phenomenon is over? According to NASA and other experts, there are a few options. If your eclipse glasses are compliant with the ISO 12312-2 safety standard, NASA said you may look at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun through them for as long as you wish.
Be aware; plastic frames will likely not be acceptable with traditional plastic recycling, so you’ll want to trash these. You can also consider donating your glasses to Astronomers Without Borders , a non-profit organization running its second nationwide eclipse glasses recycling drive.The group collected tens of thousands of glasses for distribution in South America, Asia and Africa after the 2017 Great American Total Solar Eclipse.
