My Virtual Reading Room

And it's for a good cause--for the schoolchildren in Asia and South America to see the 2019 eclipse there!

I'll definitely be sending along the three pairs the public library kindly gave us (I had bought a few more beforehand, but alas, they weren't officially certified :( )

“This is an opportunity for schools to have a first-hand science experience that they might not otherwise have” Astronomers Without Borders President Mike Simmons told Gizmodo. “Many schools in developing countries don’t have resources for science education and this is a rare opportunity that inspires students and teachers and shows them that science is something they can do. It can be a ray of hope for young people who don’t otherwise see a path to a career like this.”

More details in the article, including the address if you want to send them right away, or if you wait, they'll have another address--so you can hold on to your eclipse glasses in the meantime:

You Can Actually Do Something Good With Those Eclipse Glasses

Please do hang on to your certified eclipse glasses and please spread the word to all your friends and acquaintances!
