solar eclipse this august

[Seperallis]

Remember guys, if you plan on looking at the sun directly at all, you must get your viewing glasses. Make sure you get them from a reputable source, like the one Sal linked earlier; there have been scams in the past where people thought they were buying the legit thing, but were actually sold useless trash, and so damaged their vision when they tried to use them.

Also, if you're within a zone of totality, BE CAREFUL removing your glasses to look directly at the total eclipse; the moon is not a perfect sphere, and it's peaks and valleys mean the sun's corona can still be seen for several seconds after it "should" have eclipsed.
