Your Eclipse Glasses Don't Have to End Up in the Trash

If you think your options for what to do next with those now-relatively-useless eclipse glasses are only A) put them in a memory box or B) put them in a trash can, good news. Gizmodo reports on a pleasant option C) give them to kids in need. The president of Astronomers Without Borders tells the site it plans to accept the used glasses and dole them out to resource-light schools in Asia and South America so that children there can safely view solar eclipses scheduled for 2019.

Mailing instructions haven't been released yet, but if you follow the group on Facebook, you'll get the heads up on where to send them once the program is in place. As Astronomers Without Borders' post on the planned effort reads, "Don't waste. Donate!" (Here's how to tell if the eclipse damaged your eyes.)
