Question 1

Where can I get solar eclipse glasses near me?

Accepted Answer

We’ll have limited-edition, ISO-certified solar eclipse glasses available—for free!—at all of our stores, starting April 1 through the big day. Drop by anytime to pick up a pair. (We can provide up to two pairs per family, while supplies last.)
Our Customer Experience team will not be able to answer specific questions about the inventory levels of solar eclipse glasses at our stores, and we can’t guarantee that they will be available by the time you arrive. We know you’re just as excited about this celestial spectacle as we are, so we encourage you to swing by at your earliest convenience.
Note: If we've run out of solar eclipse glasses by the time you arrive, we'll be able to provide you with an eclipse pinhole projector. With this projector, you can safely observe the solar eclipse through a projection—neat!
Not near a store? No problem. Just download the template for our DIY pinhole eclipse projector!

Question 3

When and where is the solar eclipse?

Accepted Answer

The Great North American Solar Eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon passing over the U.S., Canada, and Mexico on April 8. This will be the last total solar eclipse visible from the contiguous United States until 2044, and whether you’re getting a full view or a partial peek, we’re here to help you see it.

Question 4

What is a solar eclipse?

Accepted Answer

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, and it’s considered a total solar eclipse when the moon blocks the sun completely. If you’re in the path of totality during a total solar eclipse, the sky will darken momentarily, and only the sun’s corona will be visible.

Question 5

I'm in Canada—what will I experience during the solar eclipse?

Accepted Answer

The Great North American Solar Eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon passing over the U.S., Canada, and Mexico on April 8. If you're in Canada, the path of totality will travel through Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland. (See here for a more detailed list.)

We want to make sure you have everything you need to safely witness this rare event, so we’re giving away free, ISO-certified eclipse glasses at all our stores (including those in Canada!) from April 1 until the big day. Drop by anytime to pick up a pair. (We can provide up to two pairs per family, while supplies last.)

Our Customer Experience team will not be able to answer specific questions about the inventory levels of solar eclipse glasses at our stores, and we can’t guarantee that they will be available by the time you arrive.
