If you want to view the solar eclipse on Monday, August 21 and don't have a pair of viewing glasses that have been certified as safe, check out the American Astronomical Society's page for other options, such as making a pinhole projector. If you do have viewing glasses, be sure to check that they are actually certified for safely viewing the eclipse. Some glasses have been sold that claim to be safe and are not. Not sure?
According to the AAS web site, "As long as you can trace your filters to a reputable vendor or other reliable source, and as long as they have the ISO logo and a statement attesting to their ISO 12312-2 compliance, you should have nothing to worry about."
