Eclipse mania is sweeping the country. On April 8, millions will be gazing up to catch a glimpse of the once-in-a-lifetime event. Manufacturer Mark Margolis says there has been a flood of counterfeit solar eclipse glasses that have hit the market. Inside Edition found an ad on Craigslist offering 500 pairs of glasses for just $100. An Inside Edition producer went undercover to meet up with the man selling all those glasses. Inside Edition’s Les Trent has more.

@Faithdced 5 месяцев назад

Basically, the real solar eclipse safe viewing glasses won't allow you to see Anything but the sun or extremely bright lights, such as those when welding. When you put them on, it is absolutely pitch black. When you look at the sun with them, it'll be just a small circular round light, not even bright on your eyes. If you end up with glasses that show through more than that, it's not safe to look at the sun with them.

@haven_lady675 5 месяцев назад

Use your flashlight on your phone. Put your glasses onto the phone flashlight. If the light appears like a small speck, it's real. But if the light is a big circle, you got a fake.
