FAKE ECLIPSE GLASSES

THERE ARE FEWER THAN TWO WEEKS LEFT BEFORE THE TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE AND THERE IS A NEW WARNING ABOUT THE GLASSES YOU NEED TO VIEW IT SAFELY. 
THE AMERICAN ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY SAYS THERE ARE FOREIGN COMPANIES MAKING FAKE GLASSES. THIS COUNTERFEIT PAIR LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO THE REAL THING, ON THE INSIDE IT EVEN HAS THE CORRECT NUMBER AND THE NAME OF A LEGITIMATE AMERICAN MANUFACTURER. EXPERTS SAY IF YOU USE ONE OF THESE FAKES, IT COULD DAMAGE YOUR EYES. EXPERTS SAY TO TEST YOUR GLASSES, HOLD THEM UP TO A BRIGHT LIGHT LIKE A LAMP OR FLASHLIGHT. THE LIGHT SHOULD APPEAR DIM OR MAYBE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE IT AT ALL. THE AMERICAN ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY ALSO LISTS AUTHORIZED DEALERS THAT SELL SAFE GLASSES ON THEIR WEBSITE.
